Bone Fracture Repair
Bone fracture repair is a general term that covers a variety of surgical procedures used to treat broken bones. The choice of specific treatment will depend on the type of fracture, its location, and the age and health of the patient. The most common techniques include:
Closed reduction: The bone fragments are aligned manually without the need to make an incision.
Internal fixation: Plates, screws, nails, or rods are used to stabilize the fracture.
Bone graft: The patient's own bone or a bone substitute is used to fill the empty spaces in the fractured bone.
