internal fixation devices
Internal fixation devices are medical tools used to stabilize broken bones during the healing process. These devices, which include plates, screws, and rods, are surgically implanted inside the body to hold the fractured bone fragments in the correct position. This helps ensure proper alignment and promotes faster recovery.
The use of internal fixation devices is common in orthopedic surgery, particularly for complex fractures or those that are difficult to heal. By providing support from within, these devices reduce the need for external casts and allow for more mobility during rehabilitation, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
