Fracture reduction and fixation involve realigning fractured bone fragments and stabilizing them using screws, plates, or rods to promote proper healing.

Conditions Addressed:

Complex fractures or cases where traditional casting isn’t adequate for stability benefit from fracture reduction and fixation.

Equipment Used:

Surgical tools such as screws, plates, rods, and fixation devices are essential for this procedure.

Procedure:

Orthopedic surgeons align fractured bones precisely before securing them with fixation devices to maintain alignment.

Recovery Time:

The recovery period varies based on fracture severity and the type of fixation utilized, typically spanning from several weeks to months.
