Ibn Sīnā emphasizes the importance of proper splinting techniques and meticulous wound care in the management of fractures, providing specific and detailed instructions for effectively managing particularly complicated cases, such as comminuted fractures, as well as those involving major bones and joints like the hip, femur, patella, and foot. His extensive work reveals not only a profound understanding of human anatomy and the complex mechanisms of treatment methods but also underscores practices that resonate with modern medical approaches, thereby highlighting the enduring historical significance of his contributions to the field of orthopedics and their relevance to contemporary medicine. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of Ibn Sīnā’s significant insights into the complex topic of fractures, meticulously encompassing various types of fractures that may occur, including comminuted fractures, longitudinal fractures, and transverse fractures, along with a detailed discussion of the associated symptoms that are essential for effective diagnosis, such as pain, swelling, and deformity. Furthermore, the text delves deeper into the critical aspects of healing times that are necessary to understand for different types of fracture and elaborates on various factors that may hinder the recovery process, thus affecting patient outcomes, particularly in what is now known as the Theory of Delayed Splintage.
