A Complete Guide on How Fractures Heal
Depending upon the diagnosis of the fracture, the surgeon decides whether the broken bones require surgery for realignment, or it could be done without that. If surgery is not required, the surgeon might perform closed reduction to realign bones if needed, and then apply a cast. Sometimes, the application of a splint is also helpful.
While on the other hand, if it is not possible to realign broken ones with closed reduction, or the fracture is complicated, surgery will be recommended. It is done either under general or local anesthesia. An incision is made during the surgery to expose the fractured bone, and pieces are then realigned in their true anatomical position using Orthopedic Trauma Implants like metal plates, screws, and pins.
