Tec Orthopedics provides advanced fracture fixation procedures to help you regain pain-free function and resume your daily activities.
About Fracture Fixation
Fracture fixation is a precise technique used to treat broken bones by realigning and stabilizing the fractured areas to ensure proper healing. This procedure addresses fractures in various bones, including fingers, metacarpals, and wrist bones, with accuracy and care.
Common Conditions Treated with Fracture Fixation:
Broken fingers can cause significant pain and impair hand function. Fixation can realign and stabilize the bones for optimal healing.
Fractures in the metacarpals, the bones in the middle of the hand, can affect grip strength and movement. Surgical intervention can restore normal function.
Wrist fractures, including those of the radius and ulna, can limit hand and wrist movement. Fixation ensures proper alignment and recovery.
Multiple fractures or fractures involving joints may require fixation to restore full function and prevent long-term issues.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Fracture Fixation:
Chronic pain that does not improve with rest or conservative treatments like splinting or medication.
Ongoing swelling and stiffness in the hand or fingers that limit your ability to move or use your hand.
Visible deformity or abnormal positioning of the hand or fingers, indicating a misaligned fracture.
Difficulty gripping, holding, or performing everyday tasks due to the fracture.
Benefits of Fracture Fixation
Fracture fixation offers several advantages, helping you regain hand function and return to your activities. Here’s how it can benefit you:
By addressing the fracture, fixation can significantly reduce or eliminate hand pain.
Post-procedure, you’ll likely experience better hand movement and strength, enabling you to use your hand more effectively.
The procedure ensures that bones heal in the correct position, preventing future complications and deformities.
Some fractures can be treated with minimally invasive techniques, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Fracture Fixation Procedure
Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to treat fractures effectively. Here’s a simplified overview of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
The surgeon will make a small incision to access the fractured bones.
The bones are realigned and fixed in place using pins, screws, or plates as needed.
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape, and the area is bandaged for protection.
Fracture Fixation Recovery
Mild discomfort or soreness post-procedure can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
The area will be bandaged to protect the surgical site. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential.
Rehabilitation exercises may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility to the affected area.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and use will be guided by your surgeon.
