MULTIPLE FRACTURES
OTHO C. HUDSON M.D., F.A.C.S.1
1 Surgical Service, Nassau Hospital
Multiple fractures should be treated the same as single fractures.
A trained team for each extremity is needed.
With the use of hyoscine-morphine analgesia, early treatment is possible without anaesthesia.
Transfusions should be given within twenty-four hours.
Treatment of the patients' injuries on admission, in addition to their general condition, secured better anatomical restoration of the extremities with improvement in the end results.
