Fracture Fixation

In some cases, casting alone is not sufficient to properly manage a fractured bone. Surgery for a fracture is known as fracture fixation. During the procedure, the surgeon realigns and stabilizes the broken bones using metal plates, screws, or rods. After the surgery, the patient typically wears a cast or brace and undergoes physical therapy exercises to regain strength and mobility in the affected area.
