How about internal fixation

summary

Fracture is usually caused by the invasion of external forces. If it is serious, internal fixation is needed to assist the recovery. Let's take a look at the internal fixation of fractures.

How about internal fixation

First, internal fixation can promote fracture healing. For example, femoral neck fracture, mostly occurs in the elderly, poor external fixation effect, more complications, internal fixation can improve the cure rate of fracture, and can effectively reduce mortality.

Secondly, it is suitable for nonunion caused by improper fracture treatment or other reasons, congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia, bone defect caused by bone resection or serious injury, etc. In the treatment, bone graft should be done at the same time, and there must be firm internal fixation to ensure the healing of bone graft.

Finally: after the planned osteotomy to correct the deformity, internal fixation should be performed to maintain the good position after correction (such as osteotomy for genu and elbow varus, intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric osteotomy, spinal osteotomy, etc.).

matters needing attention

After surgery is not the end of treatment, but the beginning of rehabilitation. The doctor will help you correct the fracture of fracture deformity, and fix it with implants, so as to provide a stable healing environment for bone rehabilitation, and eat more food with high calcium content.
