Closed Functional Treatment of Fractures

Closed Functional Treatment of Fractures by Augusto Sarmiento, Loren Latta.

The purpose of this book is to report on my 17 years of experience in the development and implementation of a closed functional method of treatment of certain fractures of long bones of the appendicular skeleton. My personal experiences, clinical results, and the basic concepts underlying the treatm...
