Open Reduction of Fracture Cost at Charite University Hospital

An open fracture reduction puts pieces of a broken bone into places using surgery. Screws and a plate or external support frame may be added for stability.

Open reduction is where the fracture fragments are exposed surgically by dissecting the tissues. For fixing the open fracture, the bleeding is stopped, followed by the pressure applied in the wound area with a sterile bandage, and Immobilizing the injured area. Ice packs are used to limit the swelling and to relieve pain.
