Description

In this BoardsCast episode, we flip the script and focus on when orthopedic surgery isn’t the best choice. Conservative orthopedic management isn’t just “doing nothing” — it’s a calculated decision based on biology, biomechanics, and behavior.

You’ll learn:

• Which fractures actually heal well without surgery
• What stability looks like radiographically and clinically
• The role of load-sharing vs. load-sparing in conservative success
• When cage rest, slings, or splints work — and when they backfire
• Risks of fibrous union, joint stiffness, and disuse atrophy
• Communication strategies to help clients commit to non-operative care

From pelvic fractures to scapular bodies and greenstick lesions, this episode helps you confidently identify when it’s better not to cut.
