What does a spiral fracture procedure do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be more specific: A spiral fracture is a type of break that occurs when there is a twisting force on the bone. Depending on the location and severity of the break, there are several procedures used to treat a spiral fracture. There is no "spiral fracture procedure" that I am aware of.
