A key reference in functional orthopedics, this book provides a step-by-step guide to the non-surgical management of fractures of the limbs and girdles. Following a review of anatomy and pathophysiology, the authors detail the selection of conservative treatments, the application of casts and splints, the monitoring of complications, and the rehabilitation and weight-bearing protocols. Each chapter — shoulder, elbow, forearm, pelvis, femur, leg, ankle, foot — is supported by more than 200 annotated drawings and radiographs. Clear decision-making charts help guide the choice of immobilization devices.

Essential for residents, physiotherapists, and orthopedic surgeons seeking to optimize their patients’ functional recovery.
