The use of internal wires, screws, or pins applied directly to fractured bone segments to keep them in place.
A surgical method used to treat broken bones by placing metal plates, pins, rods, or wires to secure the fractured ends. This technique is employed for complex fractures that can’t be stabilized using other methods. After the bone heals, the implanted devices are typically left intact unless they pose complications. Sometimes, a subsequent surgery might be required to remove them.
