Fracture Surgery
When a bone fracture is severe, unstable, or cannot heal properly with conservative treatment alone, Fracture Surgery becomes essential. This procedure involves the surgical realignment of broken bone fragments and stabilization using metal implants like plates, screws, rods, or pins to ensure correct healing and restore mobility.
Our orthopaedic team specializes in advanced surgical techniques for complex, open, displaced, and multiple fractures, offering high success rates and optimal recovery.
When Is Fracture Surgery Needed?
-
The bone is broken into several pieces (comminuted fracture)
-
Bone ends are misaligned (displaced fracture)
-
The fracture pierces through the skin (open fracture)
-
Joint or growth plate involvement
-
Non-healing or poorly healed (malunion/nonunion) fractures
Types of Surgical Fixation We Perform
1. Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF):
Realigning the bone and securing it with metal implants placed inside the body.
2. External Fixation:
Stabilizing the bone using pins and a supportive external frame—used for open or highly unstable fractures.
3. Intramedullary Nailing:
Inserting a rod into the marrow canal of long bones like the femur or tibia for internal support.
