Anatomic reduction
Anatomic reduction is a medical procedure where a doctor realigns broken bones or fractured tissues to their normal shape and position. The goal is to restore the bone's natural anatomy, which helps ensure proper healing, restore function, and minimize future problems. This process often involves carefully manipulating the bone fragments back into place, sometimes using imaging like X-rays to guide the alignment. Proper anatomic reduction is crucial in orthopedic care to achieve the best possible recovery and maintain normal limb or joint movement.
