trauma surgery and fracture treatment with physiotherapy
Mathilde Hiep recently completed the 3-day course “trauma surgery and fracture treatment:”.
It was an interesting course and a good addition to my many years of practical experience (hospital and primary care).
In the case of a bone fracture (with or without surgery), it is important to have a lot of knowledge and experience of normal fracture treatment and normal fracture healing.
But you must also be able to recognize a deviating course;
what should you do if things are not going well;
what measures should you take with regard to your treatment;
when do you send someone back to the specialist;
etc.
And important: what does someone want to be able to achieve again?
Every treatment is different and that makes working with patients after a fracture interesting and challenging for me.
