Who is this surgery for?
- Displaced fractures where bone ends are not aligned.
- Open (compound) fractures where the bone pierces the skin.
- Unstable fractures that cannot be held in place with a cast alone.
- Intra-articular fractures (extending into a joint surface).
- Fractures with associated nerve or blood vessel damage.
- Failed non-surgical treatment or non-union (bone fails to heal).
- Multiple fractures or polytrauma cases.
How to prepare
- Initial assessment with X-rays, and possibly CT or MRI scans, to evaluate the fracture.
- Medical history review and physical examination by the orthopedic surgeon.
- Discussion of all treatment options, including risks and benefits of surgery if needed.
- Pre-operative tests (blood work, ECG) may be required for surgical cases.
- Instructions on fasting (if surgery is planned) and medication adjustments (e.g., blood thinners).
- Arranging for assistance at home and time off work during recovery.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection, especially with open fractures or surgical procedures.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation at the injury or surgical site.
- Damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.

- Stiffness, loss of range of motion, or arthritis (particularly in joint fractures).
- Delayed healing, malunion (healing in poor position), or nonunion (failure to heal).
- Complications related to anesthesia.
- Hardware irritation or failure, potentially requiring removal.
Recovery & hospital stay

Aarav Mehta, a 68-year-old retired accountant,...
Aarav Mehta, a 68-year-old retired accountant, lives alone in a suburban apartment. An avid morning walker, he slipped on a wet patch of grass in the park, landing heavily on his outstretched right hand. He felt immediate, severe pain and heard a distinct 'snap.' His wrist swelled rapidly into a deformed shape. At the emergency room, X-rays confirmed a displaced distal radius fracture (Colles' fracture). The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, explained that due to the displacement and Aarav's active lifestyle, the best chance for a full recovery was surgical intervention, specifically an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with a plate and screws to realign and stabilize the bones. Aarav was terrified of surgery and the prospect of losing his independence. The procedure went smoothly under regional anesthesia. Post-surgery, his wrist was in a splint. With dedicated occupational therapy, he gradually regained strength and mobility. After six weeks, he was back to his morning walks, using a cane for extra stability on uneven ground. Emotionally, he journeyed from fear and vulnerability, worrying about being a burden, to immense relief and regained confidence. The successful recovery reinforced his self-reliance and gratitude for modern medical care.
