Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Knee

Surgical treatment for knee fractures and injuries

Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Knee is a surgical procedure used to treat fractures or injuries to the knee joint. The procedure involves making an incision in the knee to access the damaged area and realigning the bones to their proper position. Once the bones are in place, metal screws, plates, or rods are used to hold the bones together and promote healing. This type of surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. After the surgery, patients will need to undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the knee joint. The goal of this procedure is to restore the function of the knee joint and reduce pain and discomfort associated with injuries or fractures.
