Plating and Fixation Systems

Plating and fixation systems are medical devices used to stabilize broken bones. When a bone fractures, these systems involve attaching metal plates and screws to the bone to hold the broken pieces in proper alignment. This support allows the bone to heal correctly and reduces pain and movement at the fracture site. Such systems are often made of titanium or stainless steel, known for their strength and biocompatibility. They are commonly used in surgeries for complex fractures or those that require additional stability, ensuring a safer and more efficient healing process.
