Highly effective surgical procedure for hand fractures
Open reduction internal fixation of the hand is a surgical procedure that involves realigning and stabilizing broken bones in the hand. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and involves making an incision in the hand to access the broken bone. The surgeon then uses specialized tools to carefully realign the bone fragments and secure them in place using metal screws, pins, or plates. Once the bone is stabilized, the surgeon closes the incision with stitches or staples and applies a splint or cast to protect the hand during the healing process. Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury and the individual patient, but typically involves several weeks of immobilization and physical therapy to restore strength and function to the hand. Overall, open reduction internal fixation of the hand is a highly effective procedure for treating complex hand fractures and restoring hand function.
