Surgical Management of Fractures

Surgical Management of Fractures at SCOT

At SCOT, our team of experienced orthopedic surgeons offers surgical management options for various types of fractures, including:

Types of Fractures Suitable for Surgical Management

  • Complex Fractures: Fractures that involve multiple fragments, are unstable, or have failed conservative management.
  • Displaced Fractures: Fractures where the bone fragments are out of place and require surgical reduction.
  • Open Fractures: Fractures where the bone pierces the skin, requiring immediate surgical intervention.
  • Non-Union Fractures: Fractures that have failed to heal after conservative management.

Surgical Techniques

We offer advanced deformity correction techniques, including:

  • Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF): A surgical technique where the bone fragments are reduced and stabilized using internal fixation devices.
  • Closed Reduction Internal Fixation (CRIF): A minimally invasive surgical technique where the bone fragments are reduced and stabilized using internal fixation devices, without making a large incision.
  • Percutaneous Pinning: A minimally invasive surgical technique where thin wires or pins are inserted through the skin to stabilize the bone fragments.
  • External Fixation: A surgical technique where an external frame is used to stabilize the bone fragments, often used for complex or open fractures.

High-End Equipment and Latest Implants

At SCOT, we utilize the latest high-end equipment and implants to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. Some examples include:
  • Computer-Assisted Navigation Systems: We use advanced computer-assisted navigation systems to ensure accurate placement of implants and optimal alignment of bone fragments.
  • 3D Printing Technology: We utilize 3D printing technology to create customized implants and surgical guides, allowing for more precise and personalized care.
  • Locking Plate Systems: We use advanced locking plate systems to provide stable fixation and promote optimal healing.
  • Bioabsorbable Implants: We offer bioabsorbable implants, which can reduce the risk of implant-related complications and promote more natural healing.

Benefits of Surgical Management

Accurate Reduction: Surgical management allows for accurate reduction of the bone fragments, promoting optimal healing.
Stable Fixation: Internal fixation devices provide stable fixation, enabling early mobilization and reducing the risk of complications.
Minimized Complications: Surgical management can minimize complications, such as infection, nerve damage, or malunion.
Faster Recovery: Surgical management can promote faster recovery, as patients can begin mobilizing and exercising sooner.
