title: [Indications and technic of functional fracture treatment with the Sarmiento brace].
abstract: Fracture bracing is a way of conservative fracture treatment on the extremities, which avoids fracture disease by long-term immobilization. Indication is given in humerus shaft-, ulna shaft- and tibia or lower leg fractures, if there is no contraindication like angulation, shortening, muscle distraction or nerve injury. If these and other contraindications are taken into account, functional fracture bracing can be expected to be successful.
