Some fractures, particularly of the upper extremities, are treated nonsurgically with immobilization. Occupational and physical therapists are helpful in assisting older adults to regain function and range of motion following any period of immobilization in order to prevent a decrease in or permanent loss of function. An external fixator is a metal device surgically inserted into and through the broken bones of a client to stabilize fragments during healing. Traction is a treatment measure for musculoskeletal trauma and disorders. Acupressure and massage may not be suitable to treat fractures of the upper extremities among elderly clients as they may lead to further complication and injury. Both acupressure and massage involve exertion of physical pressure on the different parts of the body by hand, elbow, or with the aid of various devices.
