Bone fracture is one of the most frequent post traumatic injuries to the locomotive system in man.
The introduction of new and more sophisticated techniques of treatment of fractures shows a substantial progress in orthopedic surgery.
Functional treatment using non operative techniques for fractures aims at restoring the function of the extremity even before anatomic reconstruction. Functional treatment for fractures has been well known for a long time. At frist, it was functional out of necessity. The patients reported that fracture reduction followed by an immobilization relieves pain.
