OPEN REDUCTION AND INTERNAL FIXATION (ORIF) SURGERY<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)<\/strong> is a surgical procedure used to repair severe bone fractures<\/strong>. In this surgery, an orthopedic surgeon realigns the broken bone fragments and secures them using medical-grade implants such as plates, screws, rods, or wires<\/strong> to ensure proper healing.<\/p>

At the Best Orthopaedic Hospital in Agra<\/strong>, ORIF surgery is performed using advanced techniques to restore bone alignment, strength, and function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

WHEN IS ORIF SURGERY NEEDED?<\/h3>

Not all fractures require surgery. ORIF is recommended for fractures that cannot heal properly with casting or splinting alone, including:<\/p>

  • Open (compound) fractures<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Comminuted fractures<\/strong> (bone breaks into multiple pieces)<\/p><\/li>

  • Displaced fractures<\/strong> (bone fragments move out of alignment)<\/p><\/li>

  • Severe fractures caused by accidents, falls, or sports injuries<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    PREPARATION BEFORE ORIF SURGERY<\/h4>

    Most fractures requiring ORIF are caused by sudden trauma, so there may be limited time to plan ahead.<\/p>

    Before surgery:<\/p>

    • The patient is stabilized, especially in emergency cases<\/p><\/li>

    • X-rays<\/strong> are taken to confirm the fracture<\/p><\/li>

    • CT scans or MRI<\/strong> may be performed to assess severity and associated injuries<\/p><\/li>

    • The surgical plan depends on:<\/p>

      • Type and location of fracture<\/p><\/li>

      • Bone involved<\/p><\/li>

      • Severity of injury<\/p><\/li>

      • Presence of other injuries<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        ORIF SURGERY PROCEDURE<\/strong><\/h4>

        ORIF surgery has two main steps:<\/p>

        1. Open Reduction<\/h4>

        The surgeon makes an incision over the fractured area and carefully realigns the bone fragments into their natural position.<\/p>

        2. Internal Fixation<\/h4>

        Once aligned, the bone is secured using internal implants such as:<\/p>

        • Metal plates and screws<\/p><\/li>

        • Rods or nails (commonly for long bones like the femur or tibia)<\/p><\/li>

        • Wires or pins<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

          Steps During Surgery<\/h4>

          • Administration of general or regional anesthesia<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

          • Incisions made near the fracture site<\/p><\/li>

          • Bone fragments repositioned<\/p><\/li>

          • Internal fixation applied<\/p><\/li>

          • Incisions closed<\/p><\/li>

          • Immobilization using a cast or splint<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

            The surgery usually takes a few hours<\/strong>, depending on the complexity of the fracture<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

            BENEFITS OF ORIF SURGERY<\/h3>

            • Proper bone alignment and healing<\/p><\/li>

            • Reduced risk of re-fracture<\/p><\/li>

            • Restoration of normal bone function<\/p><\/li>

            • Improved long-term mobility and strength<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

              ORIF is considered the gold standard treatment<\/strong> for complex fractures<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
