Functional Fracture Bracing: Tibia, Humerus, and Ulna
(At the writing of this book, the United States is in the ...)
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.

Functional Fracture Bracing: A Manual
( Written by pioneering leaders in the development of fun...)
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.
