Basic principles of conservative fracture treatment.
Cast/splint: for immobilisation and to have stable healing process without non-union
Basic principles of stable osteosynthesis. Role of the ASIF (AO).
Role of ASIF (Association of the Study of Internal Fixation)/AO (long ass name in German):
Non-profit organisation started in Switzerland that trains orthopaedic surgeons worldwide on how to use the latest internal fixation technology. They conduct research, therefore are able to assist orthopaedic surgeons. They also construct classifications for different subjects in orthopaedics.
