  • Title: Bone injuries: treatment and rehabilitation.
    Author: Packer JW, Colditz JC.
    Journal: Hand Clin; 1986 Feb; 2(1):81-91. PubMed ID: 3745302.
    Abstract:
    Solid bony union with full range of painless motion is accomplished by correct early diagnosis, adequate reduction, stable fixation, prevention of edema, and institution of early motion programs. The degree of bony injury and involvement of multiple tissues will dictate the type of fixation and length of immobilization. Restoration of a stable skeleton with a functional range of joint motion must always be accomplished.
