Today, early mobilization is recommended, irrespective of whether a patient with a fracture of the extremities has been treated conservatively or surgically. In this way, morbidity and mortality risks can be considerably reduced, in particular in the elderly patient. As a result of the continuing trend towards an ever shorter hospital stay, the general physician is faced with the task of providing aftercare to such patients at an early stage in the healing process of the fracture. This includes wound care, prevention of thromboembolism, the timely initiation of physiotherapeutic measures, and the requesting of x-ray follow-up.
