Basic principles of fracture fixation

Erol Kaya

Merzifon Kara Mustafa Pasha State Hospital, Turkey

racture is the disruption of the integrity of the bone tissue, resulting in pathological deformity and loss of bone support

function and pain. Fracture healing can be divided into two groups; First, Primary or direct recovery with internal remodeling

and second, Secondary or indirect healing with callus formation. In determining the type of fixation, what we decide is actually

what type of bone healing we expect. Absolute stability or non-rigid fixation?

In determining the stability, the anatomical position of the fracture, the type of fracture and the condition of the soft tissue play

a decisive role. there are 3 important points to consider when deciding all of these. fixation must be continued after the decision.

Restoring the stability in the fracture area (thus, functional continuity is maintained). Minimize pain associated with pathologic

movement in the fracture line.

Thus, there different types of implants and surgery types that we can choose for fixation.
