AbstractPrimary care physicians are called on to see and treat a variety of orthopedic problems, including the common fractures discussed in this article. They must recognize the fractures they feel comfortable in treating and differentiate those that should be referred to someone with more experience in complex fracture care. The goal of treatment is to restore optimal function without deformity.
