Abstract
Study Design: Retrospective study. Purpose: Management of fracture has evolved significantly in the last few decades due to involvement of modern methods and technologies helping the patients attaining the pre trauma functionalities which has become the goal of modern practice of orthopaedics. But in the developing world like India is still lacking behind the goal due to hindrance of traditional methods of conservative therapy in the management of the fractures. In present study we have evaluated for the loss of functionality of the patients accepting traditional conservative therapy. Methods: In the present study we included those patients visited to our hospital; Hi-Tech medical college &Hospital, during the period from January 2015 December 2017 previously treated by the traditional methods of conservative managements. Complete data regarding demographic and socio-economic status of patients was obtained in the history and each of them underwent through clinical and radiological evacuation and possible surgical intervention. Results: Total of 58 pts were included in the study those were treated by traditional methods and undergone some form of intervention in our hospital. Majority of them presented with nonunion or malunion. Some other forms of presentations like stiffness, compartment syndrome and chronic osteomyelitis. Cost and fear of surgery had lead to noncompliance to the modern therapy in majority of case and accepting traditional conservative therapy. Conclusions: Traditional conservative therapy (TCT), not only is becoming hindrance in providing complete functionality to the patient, but also misleading the patients and becoming the cause for additional procedures, increasing the overall expenditure of treatment and increasing rehabilitation period.
