34
Q

Closed Reduction

How is it performed?

A

A fracture that didn’t cause a break in the skin and is less than 2mm in size can be treated using the closed-reduction technique.
Is performed by manipulating the bone back to its normal position and stabilizing it with proper material.

35
Q

Reduction

A

Surgical correction of fractured bone to normal position

36
Q

Immobilization

Prevents what?
