Abstract

External coaptation includes the use of casts, splints, bandages, or slings to help stabilize fractures or luxations, reduce postoperative swelling, or help to protect wounds. Although each of these can be highly effective, it is very important to understand the various types of devices available and the indications for each. Inappropriate use of an external coaptation device can lead to unsatisfactory results.
