Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the writing of this book, the United States is in the midst of an intense public debate concerning a widely perceived need for reform of the Health Care Delivery System. The reform is primarily aimed at the provision of medical insurance to a large segment of the population currently deprived of that coverage and to the reduction of the escalating costs of medical care. Solutions to the existing problems have been elusive because the causes of the dilemma are multifactorial, complex, and diffucult to identify clearly. There is, however, general consensus that the use and abuse of technology has played a major role in the growing costs of medical care. The importance of fracture care in the overall financing of the health care reform is significant, since injuries to the musculoskeletal system are responsible for a very large percentage of the general expenditures in this area. The cost is not limited to hospitalization and professional services, but also impacts the economy with tempo rary or permanent interruption of individual productivity.

Download or read book Closed Functional Treatment of Fractures written by Augusto Sarmiento and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to report on my 17 years of experience in the development and implementation of a closed functional method of treatment of certain fractures of long bones of the appendicular skeleton. My personal experiences, clinical results, and the basic concepts underlying the treatment philosophy are reported. Illustrations demonstrating the techniques of application of functional casts and braces are presented in detail as well as a step-by-step description of the management regime and a discussion of the behavior of fractures under this system. Indications and contraindications for the use of this method of treatment are clearly outlined. I consider it important to compile this information for I believe that the system has withstood the test of time and is sufficiently sound to be incorporated in the armamentarium of the orthopaedic surgeon. Also, it may have a favorable socioeconomic impact since it offers a viable alternative in the treatment of frac tures.

The Oxford Textbook of Orthopedics and Trauma provides comprehensive coverage of the relevant background science, theory, practice, decision-making skills and operative techniques required to provide modern orthopedic and trauma care. The text is divided into five major sections covering fundamental science, adult orthopedics, trauma, pediatric orthopedics and pediatric trauma. The fundamental science section contains a major subsection on tumors and the adult orthopedics section is further subdivided to cover the joint and bonesystems of the body. Edited by a transatlantic team and written by more than 300 specialist chapter authors, this book is unrivalled in the field. The content is extensively referenced, highly illustrated and contains useful summary boxes throughout the text.

Download or read book Functional Treatment of Tibial Fractures with a Custom Made Brace written by Willem Maria van Leeuwen and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of fracture treatment is rapid bone union with the preservation of perfect function, resulting in the patients' early return to normal daily activities with a minimum of complications. Many conservative and operative methods are used for the treatment of tibial fractures. Conservative treatment consists of a toe-to- groin plaster cast. Surgically, the fracture can be stabilised with a plate and screws, an intramedullary rod or an external fixation device. All these methods involve serious complications. Impairment of subtalar, ankle and knee function, with severe atrophy of the calf and quadriceps muscles, for instance, are well- recognised problems following a toe-to-groin plaster cast. Deep infection of a tibial fracture, mainly following internal fixation, can be disastrous. Another treatment is early functional weight-bearing treatment, which was first described by Sarmiento and has the advantages of both the conservative method and operative functional treatment, without major complications. The advantages of conservative functional treatment are low infection rate, short hospitalisation time and the patients' early return to normal daily activities. The number of infected non-unions after operative treatment referred from other hospitals to the orthopaedic department at the University Hospital Leiden, motivated us to introduce functional weight-bearing treatment for tibial fractures. A prospective study was started in 1981 (University Hospital Leiden). It was our aim to investigate - the hospitalisation time. - the results of early weight-bearing m a functional brace and shorten the consolidation time. - a possible correlation between early full weight-bearing and the early, return of the patient to normal activities. This thesis reports the results of tibial fractures which were treated with a custommade functional brace. Patients admitted to the departments of orthopaedic and general surgery at the University Hospital Leiden, to the departments of orthopaedic surgery at the Westeinde Hospital, The Hague and the University Hospital Rotterdam, were studied between 1981 - 1983 and followed-up one year after the initial trauma.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated textbook is an essential and invaluable guide to young clinicians and researchers of Trauma and Orthopaedics, reporting all classification systems which are currently utilised in the clinical setting. It includes classifications relevant to both Elective Orthopaedic Practice and Orthopaedic Trauma. Clear graphic illustrations accompany the description of all different classification schemes in a comprehensive manner, together with a structured presentation of existing clinical evidence. In this manner each chapter of the different anatomical sites and pathologies assists the decision making of the readers regarding treatment strategy as well as informed consent of their patients. It is envisaged that this textbook will be a point of reference not only to the surgeons in training (residents) but also to senior surgeons and academic clinicians.
