Bone.

9. PLANNING
• GOALS OF THE TREATMENT
• To reduce the deformity of the arm by performing
ORIF(Open Reduction Internal Fixation) Surgery.
• To bring the shape and structure of the bone into it’s
original form

10. ORIF(OPEN REDUCTION
INTERNAL FIXATION)
SURGERY
• Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)
is a surgery to fix severely broken
bones. It’s only used for serious
fractures that cannot be treated with a
cast or splint.

11. PROCEDURE OF ORIF
ORIF is a two-part procedure. The surgery can take several hours, depending on the fracture.
An anesthesiologist will give the patient general anesthesia. This will put the patient in a deep sleep during
the surgery so the patient won’t feel any pain. Patient might be put on a breathing tube to help you breathe
properly.
• The first part is open reduction. The surgeon will cut the skin and move the bone back into the normal
position.
• The second part is internal fixation. The surgeon will attach metal rods, screws, plates, or pins to the
bone to hold it together. The type of hardware used depends on the location and type of fracture.
• Finally, the surgeon will close the incision with stitches or staples, apply a bandage, and may put the limb
in a cast or splint depending on the location and type of fracture.
