Fracture Treatment (Internal Fixation for Broken Bones)

What is it?
A surgical method used to stabilize and align broken bones using metal implants such as plates, screws, or intramedullary nails (rods).

Types of Fixation

Plates & Screws

  • Plates are attached on the bone surface using screws

  • Commonly used in fractures near joints, long bone shafts, or complex breaks

  • Helps maintain precise bone alignment

Intramedullary Nails (Rods)

  • Long metal rods inserted into the marrow canal of long bones (like femur or tibia)

  • Held in place with locking screws at both ends

  • Provides strong internal support for the bone

Benefits

  • Early mobilization

  • Strong and stable fixation

  • Maintains correct bone position for proper healing

  • Reduces risk of malunion or non-union

Post-Operative Recovery

  • Weight-bearing depends on fracture type and stability

  • Physiotherapy starts early to prevent stiffness and muscle loss

  • Full recovery may take from 6 weeks to several months
