Abstract:
A treatment process of fractures consists of diagnosis, reduction, fixation and rehabilitation. Advances made in techniques of open reduction and internal fixation, typing of fractures, and standardization and humanization of treatment, as well as development of four AO principles of fracture treatment have led to constant improvement of therapeutic effects. In treatment of fractures not only biomechanical factors but also biological ones should be taken into consideration. Although operative and non operative treatments have indications of their own, they are supplementary to each other in clinical treatment. Orthopedists must master techniques of both open reduction and close reduction, and pay enough attention to scientific rehabilitation after operation.
