Surgery for Fractures

Surgery for fractures involves realigning broken bones to help them heal properly. Surgeons may use metal rods, plates, screws, or pins to hold the bones in place. The goal is to restore the bone's normal position, provide stability, and minimize healing time. The procedure varies depending on the type and location of the fracture. After surgery, recovery includes rest, possible immobilization, and rehabilitation exercises to regain strength and movement. This approach is often necessary for severe or complicated fractures to ensure proper healing and avoid long-term issues.
