internal fixation

Internal fixation is a medical procedure used to stabilize broken bones using internal devices like metal plates, screws, or rods. These devices are surgically placed inside the body to hold the fractured bone pieces together, allowing them to heal properly. This method helps maintain the correct position of the bone, reduces pain, and can speed up recovery. Internal fixation is commonly used for complex fractures or ones that require more precise alignment, providing structural support during the healing process while minimizing the need for external casts or braces.
