surgical fixation devices

Surgical fixation devices are tools used by doctors to stabilize broken bones or damaged joints, helping them heal properly. Common devices include plates, screws, rods, and pins, which are made of strong, biocompatible materials. They are attached to the bone externally or internally to hold fractured parts in the right position during healing. These devices provide support, maintain alignment, and prevent movement that could disrupt recovery. Once the bone has healed, some devices may be removed, while others stay permanently, depending on the injury and treatment plan.
