Closed Reduction and Casting Procedure

A closed reduction fracture procedure is a procedure to realign a broken bone without the need for an incision. This approach is typically used when a patient has a broken bone that can manipulated externally, without the need for serious surgical intervention. During the procedure, the surgeon will use manual force techniques to manipulate the joint and carefully reposition the broken segments of bone into their original anatomical alignment. After the procedure, the surgeon will create a cast around the fracture to ensure it stays immobile during the vital recovery period. 

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Doctors typically recommend this procedure to patients who have sustained a minor fracture that requires treatment, but not necessarily surgical intervention. A more invasive procedure may be necessary if the patient’s fracture is severe and the doctor does not believe that a closed reduction fracture is enough to fix the fracture.

What To Expect

The process will begin with diagnostic imaging to assess the severity of the injury. Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon then applies precise pressure to guide the fragments back into their anatomical position, taking care to avoid excessive force that could further damage surrounding tissues. 

After the procedure, the patient will need to keep the area immobile before it is cast. It is normal for patients to experience pain around the area following the procedure. Any discomfort can be managed using pain medications. It is very important that patients closely follow all post-operative instructions, as this is vital to a successful recovery.
