Basic Aspects of Internal Fixation

  • Chapter
Manual of INTERNAL FIXATION

Abstract

Every fracture leads to a complex tissue injury involving bone and surrounding soft parts Immediately after the fracture and during the repair phase, we see local circulatory disturbances and manifestations of local inflammation, as well as pain and reflex immobilization. These three factors, circulatory disturbance, inflammation, and pain, a result of dysfunction of joints and muscles, lead to the so-called fracture disease (Lucas-Championniere 1907).
