摘要：

Complications of external coaptation of fractures include delayed and nonunion healing from lack of adequate fracture stability, pressure and rub sores, leg swelling, dermatitis, joint laxity or stiffness, cast or splint breakage, and refracture. Most of the complications are a result of improper application of the coaptation device or poor management of the patient. Early recognition and treatment of complications are needed to minimize their effect. The number of complications resulting from external coaptation can be minimized by proper application of the cast or splint.
