The treatment of femoral shaft fractures using a cast brace.
The current trend in the non-operative treatment of femoral shaft fractures is away from prolonged traction and towards early ambulation. The cast brace treatment involves external support to the limb in such a way that maximal use can occur during healing. Early ambulation, while a fracture is healing, provides an environment for complete bone healing as well as allowing joint movement so that...

PURPOSE Recent literature comparing the effectiveness of above-elbow and below-elbow plaster casts appears to suggest that either cast type offers adequate immobilization for distal radius and ulna fractures. The idea that an appropriate mold placed on the cast is the most significant determinant of successful immobilization and, thereby, patient outcome has also been elucidated. The purpose of...
