Sommario/riassunto

Organized by body region and fracture type, this practical resource covers the full spectrum of topics related to effective fracture management-from essential clinical guidance on casting and splinting techniques and handling complications to chapters on training, case selection, and insurance issues. The standardized chapter format includes a ""how-to"" outline to help clinicians locate key facts easily. Illustrations, tables, and figures offer visual guidance in the treatment of simple and complex fractures. The practical approach shows what works, what doesn't, and why.
