Why do get this surgery?
What does the surgeon do in the surgery?
Fracture repair stabilizes broken bones with plates, screws, or rods. Open reduction (surgical realignment) is used for complex fractures, while minimally invasive methods reduce scarring. Bone grafts or biologics enhance healing in non-union cases.
Weight-bearing protocols and nutrition (calcium/vitamin D) improve recovery.
