Rigid Fixation

Rigid fixation refers to a method used in various fields, including medicine and engineering, to secure parts in a stable, unmoving position. In medicine, particularly in orthopedic surgery, it involves using hardware like screws or plates to keep broken bones aligned while they heal. This prevents movement at the fracture site, promoting optimal recovery. In engineering, it refers to securely connecting components to ensure they do not shift under stress. Overall, rigid fixation enhances stability and support, allowing for effective recovery or functionality.
