Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Traumatology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Fractures and dislocations of the upper limb are common injuries.
  • Traditional treatments may have limitations in restoring function.
  • Functional bracing offers a potential alternative for managing these injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of functional bracing in treating upper limb fractures and dislocations.
  • To assess patient outcomes regarding range of motion and power.
  • To describe the techniques and protocols for functional bracing in this context.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 307 patients with upper limb fractures and/or dislocations.
  • Specific injury types included humeral fractures, elbow fracture-dislocations, forearm fractures, and distal radius fractures.

  • Functional bracing was applied according to described techniques and protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • The study included 307 cases of upper limb fractures and dislocations.
    • The average follow-up period was 9 months.
    • More than 95% of patients regained good range of motion and power.

    Conclusions:

    • Functional bracing is a safe and effective treatment for upper limb fractures and dislocations.
    • The described techniques and protocols facilitate successful patient outcomes.
    • This method aids in restoring good functional recovery after injury.
