Jakob's principles of fracture treatment

Jakob’s principles of fracture treatment emphasize that proper healing depends on aligning the broken bone correctly and minimizing soft tissue damage. The goal is to restore the bone’s natural position, ensuring stability so the bone can heal properly. This involves gentle handling of tissues, choosing the least invasive method possible, and maintaining the fracture in a good position throughout healing. These principles prioritize restoring function quickly, reducing complications, and promoting efficient recovery, whether through casting, splinting, or surgery, depending on the fracture's severity and location.
