Fracture fixation devices
Fracture fixation devices are medical tools used to stabilize broken bones, allowing them to heal properly. They include metal plates, screws, rods, or pins that hold the bone fragments together. These devices are carefully placed during surgery to ensure the bone stays aligned, preventing movement that could delay healing or cause deformity. Once healed, some devices are removed, while others remain permanently. The goal is to restore strength and function to the affected area efficiently and safely, helping patients return to normal activities as quickly as possible.
