Synopsis
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.

Owner's name at the top of front endpaper; a tiny edge-nick/crease to the side of the title page.

Rear board with a long scratch and extensive faint shelfworn marks. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book covers the use of functional braces in the treatment of fractures. The authors' experience with functional bracing of several thousand fractures over the past 30 years clearly confirms the place and role of this treatment modality. Their experience, supported by extensive biomechanical and experimental animal research, indicates that the closed functional treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the tibia, humerus, and ulna reliably produces satisfactory results in the majority of patients. The technology required for its implementation is uncomplicated. This reduces the cost of care significantly. An abundant number of representative clinical examples is used to illustrate the technique and to present scientific evaluation as well as clinical supportive data. -- Contents: 1. Philosophy of Functional Fracture Bracing -- Myth About Immobilization of Fractures; Function; Health of the Limb; Rigid Fixation; Clinical Management [Indications and Contraindications; Angulation and Shortening; Bracing Following Internal Fixation; Open Fractures]; Summary; References; -- 2. Fractures of the Tibia -- Shortening, Angulation, and Rotation [Shortening; Angulation; Malrotation; General Considerations and the Role of Function]; Observations on the Rate of Healing; Tibia Fractures with Associated Fibula Fracture; Tibia Fractures with an Intact Fibula; Indications and Clinical Management; Application of Casts and Braces; Mechanical Function of the Brace [Brace: Soft Tissue Design; Materials and Mechanics]; Clinical Experience with All Tibia Fractures Combined [Healing; Shortening; Angulation; Malrotation; Complications]; Clinical Experience with Closed Tibia Fractures [Comparison of Results of Tibial Fractures Treated in Below-the-Knee Functional Casts and Custom and Prefabricated Functional Braces; Fractures of the Tibia with an Intact Fibula; Fractures of the Tibia and Fibula]; Clinical Experience with Open Tibia Fractures; References; -- 3. Fractures of the Humeral Diaphysis -- Clinical Considerations; Management; Clinical Experience; References; -- 4. Isolated Ulnar Fractures -- Indications and Contraindications; Management; Application of the Ulnar Sleeve; Clinical Experience [Bilateral Ulnar Fractures; Segmental Ulnar Fractures; Open Ulnar Fractures]; References; -- 5. An Overview of Pertinent Research -- Biomechanical Rationale for Functional Bracing of Fractures [Biological Importance of Function; Role of Vascularity in Fracture Healing; Environmental Factors in Fracture Healing]; Biomechanics of Fracture Repair [Regions of Tissue Repair; Stages of Tissue Repair; Structural Stages of Peripheral Callus Formation; Structural Mechanics of Peripheral Callus]; Alterations of Healing Environment [Immobilization of the Limb; Immobilization of the Fracture; Biochemical Influences; Influences of Function]; Biomechanics of Fracture Stability [Role of Surrounding Soft Tissues; Role of Intrinsic Support]; Applications to Clinical Care [Implementing Function; Identifying Healing Stages; Materials and Devices]; References; Subject Index -- "This book is outstanding and must be one of the two most important written on the conservative treatment of fractures.All orthopaedic surgeons, from residents to senior practitioners, can benefit from reading this volume" (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery).
