Fracture Fixation Techniques

Fracture fixation techniques are methods used by doctors to stabilize broken bones so they heal properly. Common approaches include using metal plates, screws, or rods to hold the bone ends together. Sometimes, pins or wires are inserted for smaller or more complex fractures. The goal is to keep the broken pieces aligned, maintain stability, and allow natural healing. The choice of technique depends on the type and location of the fracture, patient health, and activity level. Proper fixation reduces pain, speeds recovery, and restores normal function.
