Rigid Fixation Techniques

Rigid fixation techniques are methods used in medicine, particularly in orthopedic and dental surgery, to stabilize broken bones or dental structures. These techniques involve using hardware like plates, screws, or rods to hold the fractured parts together securely, allowing for proper healing. By keeping the bones or teeth in the correct position, these techniques help minimize movement during the recovery process, reducing pain and complications. Rigid fixation is essential for ensuring that the treated area heals effectively, restoring function and strength over time.
