Abstract
Immobilization is common after many surgical procedures performed on the hand, wrist, and elbow. Complications due to immobilization can often present more of a challenge in the rehabilitation of a patient than the initial injury. This article discusses the common complications associated with immobilization, their prevention, and their treatment.
