Fracture Fixation

A surgical procedure to stabilize broken bones using internal hardware such as plates, screws, rods, or pins, or external devices called fixators. Fracture fixation ensures proper bone alignment during healing and is used when a fracture cannot be adequately treated with casting alone. Fracture fixation is a foundational orthopedic procedure performed on a wide variety of bone fractures throughout the body. Internal fixation involves surgically implanting metal hardware directly onto or into the bone to hold the fragments in correct alignment while they heal.
