Optimize healing and mobility with hip surgery
Open reduction internal fixation of the hip is a surgical procedure used to treat fractures of the hip joint. The procedure involves making an incision in the hip area to gain access to the fractured bone. The fracture is then reduced, or realigned, into its proper position. Internal fixation is then used to hold the bone in place while it heals. This may involve the use of screws, plates, or other hardware. The incision is then closed and the patient is monitored for any complications. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a hospital stay for recovery. Physical therapy is often necessary to regain strength and mobility in the affected hip joint. The goal of open reduction internal fixation is to restore normal function and mobility to the hip joint, allowing the patient to return to their normal activities.
