Abstract:
Rehabilitation after fractures of upper limb is very complicated and should be coordinated with orthopedic procedures. A choice of method and schema is depended on general health status of patient and used orthopedic treatment. This process should start immediately after surgeon's intervention. An aim of rehabilitation is improvement of range movement, straight of muscles and acceleration of callus formation. It is very important to restore proprioception in a region of trauma. An intensity and velocity of rehabilitation is the greatest after extra bone consolidation and the slowest after conservative tutor management.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
