Description

Written by pioneering leaders in the development of functional fracture bracing systems, this manual is a practical how-to guide to the use of these systems for fractures of the upper and lower limb. Drs. Sarmiento and Latta explain the indications and contraindications for functional bracing, show how to place and remove the brace, and offer detailed advice on patient instruction, rehabilitation, follow-up, expected outcome, and prevention and management of complications. The book is thoroughly illustrated with more than 400 step-by-step photographs and contains patient information sheets that can be copied and handed out to patients.
