It was not all about writing a research paper or a case
report. This time it was writing our experience regarding mismanagement of
simple injuries or fractures by quacks.Lots of patients frequently
come to our orthopaedic OPD with complaints of deformities, stiffness of
joint, non union of fractures or an ugly swelling.
It is not uncommon to see patient left handicapped by a quack
after a simple fracture. Not only do these quacks treat injuries but they also
put their hands on other orthopaedic ailments like rheumatoid arthritis. Most
of time history is same.History of trauma sustaining injury to limbs and often
injury is of 5 to 6 months old.
Usually the patients are form lower socioeconomic group.The
so called different treatment tactics by these quacks keeps on puzzling you and
make your work even difficult. The outcome is now further complicated if these
cases reach late, after initially getting treatment from “Quacks” in the form
of massage and traditional manipulations.
