Medical bone plates play a crucial role in orthopedic surgery, which mainly includes the following aspects:
First, fracture fixation and reduction
Stabilizing the fracture site:
The medical bone plate is closely connected to the bones at both ends of the fracture through fixation devices such as screws, providing stable fixation to the fracture site and preventing displacement or dislocation of the fracture end.
Fracture reduction:
During surgery, doctors can use a medical bone plate to reset both ends of the fracture into the correct position, restoring the anatomy and function of the bone.
Second, promote fracture healing
Provide a stable healing environment:
By providing stable fixation, medical bone plates reduce the movement of the fracture site and provide a good environment for fracture healing.
Stimulating callus growth:
The design and material selection of medical bone plates can promote the growth of bone cells and the regeneration of bone tissue, thus accelerating the healing process of fractures.
Third, relieve pain and discomfort
Reduce the movement of the fracture site:
The medical bone plate reduces the movement of the fracture point by immobilizing the fracture site, thus reducing the pain caused by the instability of the fracture.
Protect surrounding tissue:
The medical bone plate can also protect the nerves, blood vessels and soft tissues around the fracture to avoid damage during the fracture healing process, further reducing the pain and discomfort of the patient.
Fourth, restore limb function
Maintain joint stability:
For fractures involving joints, medical bone plates can provide additional support to help restore joint stability and prevent joint dislocation or instability.
Promote early activities:
The stable fixation provided by the medical bone plate allows the patient to move earlier during recovery, thus accelerating the recovery of limb function.
Fifth, adapt to different fracture types and needs
Various types and shapes:
There are many types and shapes of medical bone plates to choose from, such as straight, S, C, etc., to adapt to different parts and types of fractures.
Personalized customization:
In some cases, medical bone plates can also be personalized to meet the specific surgical needs of the patient.
