[Concept of functional therapy exemplified by fresh closed humeral fracture].
The method of functional treatment of closed humerus fractures has gained an established position of success. A good outcome has proved to depend not only on correct indication, but it also depends decisively on physiotherapeutic exercises. The challenge to the physiotherapist has grown, and a standardised concept is now required. The authors' own approach is described in some detail. Excellent success was obtained from 80 in 82 cases, with average periods of treatment being shortened by something between two and four weeks.
