bone fixation devices

Bone fixation devices are tools used by doctors to stabilize broken or fractured bones, helping them heal correctly. These devices include screws, plates, rods, and pins made from biologically compatible materials that attach to the bone. They hold the broken pieces in the proper position, providing support while the bone heals naturally. Often used in surgeries, they allow patients to recover faster and with fewer complications. Once healing is complete, some devices are removed, while others remain in the body permanently. These devices play a crucial role in restoring function and strength to injured bones.
