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?

A

Involves using casting material to hold a fractured bone in place for a set period.

Prevents the bone and surrounding joints from moving.

Q

Nonunion

A

Bone doesn’t calcify, leaving the broken ends separated

42
Q

Malunion

A
