Commonly used fixation methods are: small splint, plaster bandage, external fixation bracket, traction and braking fixation, these fixation methods are called external fixation. If through surgical incision with steel plate, steel needle, intramedullary needle, screw fixation, then called internal fixation. 　　

Third: in the treatment of pathological fractures, functional exercise can be used: through the muscle contraction of the injured limb, increase the blood circulation of the tissues around the fracture, promote fracture healing, prevent muscle atrophy, through active or passive activities of the unfixed joints, prevent joint adhesion, joint capsule contracture, etc., so that the function of the injured limb can return to the normal before the fracture as soon as possible Status.
