A member asked:
Can you tell me how is a compound fracture stabilized after surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fractures: can be treated in a number of ways including placing a rod in the marrow or canal of the bones. Metal plates and screws can also be used to hold the bones in place. occasionally we can also use external fixators whereby pins are placed in the bones and stick out of the skin and are held together by rods
