45 days : Who has got them?
by somashekhar on May 07, 2005 06:43 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is relevant to note that most fractures even in routine medical practise do not require surgery. In fact earlier (probably) 15 years ago many fractures required only immobilization. Today there are more surgical procedures to reduce the rate of complications with traditional therapy and more importantly for a rapid return to routine work. It would be worth considering whether spending 45 days at a naturopathy centre to allow normal healing (which of course can occur at your own house) is better than two days post surgery in a hospital and third day at work doing your routine business. Not undergoing surgery is a bad option for many fractures as the rate of deformitites may be high and correcting them is a time aconsuming task. The old adage : a stitch in time saves nine : comes to my mind.

Not every one can afford that surgical treatment to go back to business, because Most of the Indians are daily waged people. It may be better for you not for every one else and daily waged peoples can not afford that much
