Fracture reduction and fixation Cost at Vivantes Hospital Group

Fracture reduction and fixation are used to treat fractures of small bones, such as those found in the hand or foot. Wires are usually removed after a certain amount of time but may be left in permanently for some fractures.

During the surgical procedure to set a fracture, the bone fragments are first repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment. They are held together with special implants, such as plates, screws, nails, and wires.
