Fracture Treatment
Precise surgical fixation of complex fractures using plates, nails, and screws — restoring alignment for early mobilisation and full functional recovery.
What is Fracture Treatment?
Surgical fracture fixation restores bone alignment and stability in complex or displaced fractures of the limbs, pelvis, and periarticular regions. Dr. Satish Reddy uses open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plates and screws, intramedullary nailing for long bone fractures, and external fixation for contaminated or severely comminuted injuries. Early fixation reduces complications and enables immediate physiotherapy.
Fixation method (plate, nail, or external fixator) is chosen based on the fracture pattern and location — Dr. Satish Reddy will plan the most stable construct after imaging.
Key Information
Procedure Facts
ORIF (plates & screws), intramedullary nailing, or external fixation — selected based on fracture pattern and location.
Titanium or stainless steel plates, locking screws, and intramedullary nails — designed for long-term stability.
General or regional anaesthesia; procedure duration varies from 1–3 hours based on complexity.
2–5 days depending on fracture severity; physiotherapy begins immediately post-surgery.
Bone healing in 6–12 weeks; return to full function in 3–6 months with rehabilitation.
Covered under most health insurance and accident/trauma policies.
How the Procedure Works
Emergency Assessment & Imaging
X-rays and CT scans are reviewed urgently to classify the fracture, plan fixation strategy, and assess neurovascular status.
Pre-operative Preparation
Limb splinting, swelling management, blood work, and anaesthesia review prior to surgery.
Fracture Fixation Surgery
Open or closed reduction restores bone alignment; internal or external fixation maintains position for healing — typically 1–3 hours.
Rehabilitation & Bone Healing
Physiotherapy begins immediately post-surgery. Weight-bearing is guided by fracture healing on X-rays — most achieve full union in 6–12 weeks.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →
Displaced fractures of the femur, tibia, humerus, and forearm
- →
Periarticular fractures around the knee, hip, ankle, or shoulder
- →
Open (compound) fractures requiring wound debridement and fixation
- →
Pathological fractures through bone disease or metastases
- →
Non-union or mal-union requiring corrective osteotomy and re-fixation
- →
Pelvic and acetabular fractures from high-energy trauma
Early, precise fixation of a fracture is the foundation of a good outcome. When the bone is correctly aligned and stable, the body heals — and patients regain full function far faster than with conservative treatment alone.
