Treatment Methods

• Broken bones can be repaired in a variety of
  ways, although the method used is mostly
  determined by the degree of the fracture.
• Depending on the speed with which a broken bone
  heals, it may be necessary to vary treatment
  procedures.
• Minor breaks can be healed simply by immobilising
  them with a cast or splint, but when the
  suspension is severe, a bone fracture repair is
  required.

Meaning of bone fracture repair?

• When traditional methods of casting and
  splinting fail to treat the breaking, or when
  wearing a cast for an extended period of time is
  unacceptable, bone fracture repair remains an
  option for therapy.
• Because the fracture could not mend in any case,
  bone fracture restoration is effective.
• The affected persons mobility may be jeopardised
  as a result. Surgical plates and screws, pins,
  and rods are used to keep the bone in place under
  the skin after it has been repaired in bone
  fracture repair.
• Open reduction and internal fixation are other
  terms for bone fracture repair.

The procedure
In a bone fracture repair surgery, or ORIF, the
surgeon will use either general anaesthesia to
put you to sleep or local anaesthetic to numb the
injured area so that you dont feel any
discomfort during the procedure. The plates and
screws would be inserted through an incision
formed on the fracture site. After that, the
broken bone is mended by repositioning it with
screws and pins in the proper position. These
surgical plates and screws are either permanent
or temporary, depending on the severity of the
injury. Internal damage, such as broken blood
vessels and muscles, is also restored. In some
circumstances, bone grafts may be required for
the repair. Following that, the incised wound is
stitched up and placed in a clean dressing. In
most operations, the operated organ is
immobilised in a cast following surgery to
provide emotional support to the recovering body
part.

? First of all, never hide anything from the
doctor. Discuss your medical history and all the
medical conditions you have before going for the
surgery. ? Sincerely go for all the tests and ima
ge testing that the doctor would recommend, such
as MRI and X-ray. ? Do not eat anything after mi
dnight before surgery. ? Always have someone by y
our side in the hospital to take care of you,
take you back home, or have an emergency. ? You
may be advised to stay in the hospital for a
period of time depending on the severity of your
injuries, so be prepared when you arrive at the
hospital. ? If you can feel the plates used for f
racture beneath your skin in the place of soft
tissues, its nothing to be concerned about. Its
quite typical.
