Fracture Management for Primary Care

This practical resource aims to explain everything a primary care clinician needs to know to effectively evaluate and treat common fractures and to identify those that should be referred.

Each fracture is discussed in a standardized, systematic sequence which includes: anatomic considerations; clinical symptoms and signs; radiographic findings; indications for orthopaedic referral; acute treatment; and definitive treatment.

It offers detailed, step-wise descriptions of selected closed reduction techniques for some displaced fractures.
