The new challenges of physical therapy for external fixation treatment of fractures*
Abstract:
External fixation, the restoration of skeletal integrity using pins connected by an external support, had its birth in the mid- 1800's. Recent improvements have caused a resurgence of interest in this art when dealing with complicated fractures. The health team is involved in enhancing the benefits gained from this method of fracture management. The physical therapist works in conjunction with the orthopaedic surgeon to achieve maximal rehabilitation of the injured limb. Rehabilitation includes functional training and education concerning limitations and daily care of the patient apparatus. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1981;2(4):171-176.

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...
