Determinants of Fracture Healing in Rural Health Care Settings

In India, the availability of fracture healing therapies to the general public is limited. The infrastructure of the health system in India, involving both public and private sectors, does not provide adequate opportunity for rural and low-income inhabitants to access needed care. This book addressed an important gap in the literature: the lack of recent and broadly representative data on over all general condition, economic status and healthcare use of long bone fracture treatment depending on the delayed union status.
