This fracture repair technique was chosen by our doctor at Jivdaya as it preserves joint mobility and soft tissues. The fracture heals completely in the minimum time of a month. There is no need to apply wing bandage to this fixaction technique. This leads to a very speedy recovery to the kite and this method is therefore used to heal other fracture cases as well.
