How Doctors Fix a open Fracture 🦴🩹 #medicalanimationAdded:
Oh, no. I'm broken. My bone pieces are coming out. Can you fix me?
Yes, we can fix it. Let's start the procedure.
First, we need to wash the wound thoroughly with sterile saline.
Okay, that feels cold. We are cleaning dirt and bacteria to reduce infection risk. Now, I need to trim small damaged bone fragments. Wait, what?
Removing loose bone pieces helps proper healing and lowers infection risk. Now, we will place the broken bone back into its normal position.
Your fracture is fixed. The wires will stay until the bone heals, then we can remove them. Don't worry. Thank you, doctor.
