A member asked:
What is described as improper immobilisation of a fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immobilization: Depends entirely on the type and location of the fracture. Examples of immobilization: cast, splint, brace, boot, internal hardware, external hardware, traction. Thus improper or inadequate immobilization is one that does not provide proper support of the fracture.
