Description: Discussion: Wide variation exists in surgeons' perceptions of the treatment of simple fractures. There continues to be a lack of consensus as to optimal treatment and estimates of healing time, return to duty, and residual impairment with various treatment modalities. In this age of managed care, worker's compensation, and third party payers, the use of questions being asked of us about our patients is of dubious value.
