This chapter examines orthopaedic surgery. It begins by detailing the examination of a joint and of the limbs and trunk. The chapter then discusses fracture healing and the reduction and fixation of fractures. Fracture healing occurs as either primary or secondary bone union. Primary bone healing does not produce callus, while secondary bone healing does. Modern fracture reduction and treatment centres around four key principles: fracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships; stability by fixation or splintage as the personality of the fracture and the injury dictates; preservation of the blood supply to the soft tissue and bone by careful handling and gentle reduction techniques; and early and safe mobilization of the part and patient. Finally, the chapter looks at the skeletal radiograph and considers injuries of the phalanges and metacarpals; wrist injuries; dislocations and fractures of the elbow, shoulders, ribs, pelvis, and neck; spinal injuries; bone tumours; osteoarthrosis (osteoarthritis); Paget’s disease (osteitis deformans); and carpal tunnel syndrome.
