The goal of modern fracture treatment is to obtain an optimal outcome, with the patient's return to full activity as soon as possible. Nowadays, internal stabilization is indicated in most displaced fractures in adults, whereas external fixation remains the best choice for initial stabilization with severe soft-tissue injuries. If a fracture is correctly treated in a haemophilic patient, it will progress to consolidation in a similar time-frame to fractures occurring in the general population.
