1) Treatment of fractures prioritizes first aid, transport, and treatment of shock over directly treating the fracture. 2) Reduction of bone fragments can be done manually or through traction. Splinting or casting is then used to hold the fragments in place until healing. 3) Exercise and early weight bearing are encouraged to promote healing through muscle activity and bone loading.

1. Fracture Management Orthopedics

49. Open Fractures (communicate with the environment)

56. Management (continue) No obvious contamination + the time < 8 hours + Type I or Type II , treated as closed ( cast, splintage, intramedullary nail, …etc) For more severe injuries, combined approach by experienced plastic and orthopedic surgeons ( In general stabilization depend on the size and type of soft-tissue involved although external fixation using a circular frame can accommodate to most problems)
