fracture reduction

Fracture reduction is a medical procedure used to realign broken bones to their correct position. When a bone is fractured, it can become displaced or misaligned. Reduction involves carefully moving the broken bone fragments back into their proper alignment to promote healing and restore normal function. The process can be done manually through a procedure called closed reduction, or surgically if necessary. Proper reduction is essential to ensure the bone heals correctly, minimizing the risk of deformity or impaired movement later on. The goal is to restore anatomy and function as accurately as possible.
