fixation devices

Fixation devices are medical tools used to stabilize and support broken or damaged bones, ensuring proper alignment during healing. They can be external, like braces or rods attached outside the body, or internal, such as metal plates, screws, or rods placed inside the body through surgery. These devices help maintain the correct position of bones to promote efficient healing, reduce pain, and restore function. The choice of fixation depends on the type and location of the injury, aiming to provide stability while minimizing complications and facilitating recovery.
