Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)

ORIF treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

The "Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)" is a surgical procedure used to treat broken bones. The goal of this surgery is to realign the broken bone and hold it in place with metal screws, plates, or rods. This surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, meaning you will be asleep during the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision over the broken bone and insert metal screws, plates, or rods to hold the bone in place. The incision will then be closed with stitches or staples. You will likely stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery so the surgeon can monitor your recovery.

Pre-procedure for Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)The pre-procedure for Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) typically involves a consultation with a surgeon, during which the surgeon will assess the injury and determine whether ORIF is the best course of treatment. If the decision is made to proceed with ORIF, the patient will be given a general anaesthetic, and the surgeon will make an incision in the skin over the injured area. The surgeon will then reduce (realign) the bone and insert metal screws, plates, or rods to hold the bone in place. The incision will be closed with stitches or staples, and the patient will be placed in a splint or cast to protect the injury during the healing process. Book an appointment to have the best treatment. 

Procedure for Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)

  • The first step in this procedure is to make an incision in the skin over the injured area. 

  • The surgeon then accesses the bones and uses special instruments to reduce the fracture (set the bones back into place). 

  • Once the fracture is reduced, the surgeon will place screws, plates, and/or wires to hold the bones in place. 

  • The incision is then closed with sutures or staples. 

Post-procedure for Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)

After having a reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedure, patients will need to follow certain post-operative instructions. It is important to keep the operated area clean and dry. The dressing should be checked daily and changed as needed. The operated limb should be elevated on a pillow when possible to decrease swelling. Physical therapy will be started soon after surgery to regain range of motion and strength. Patients will be seen in follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Visit our orthopaedic hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.
