What is ORIF Surgery? ORIF stands for Open Reduction Internal Fixation. It9s a surgical procedure to treat complex or displaced bone fractures. Used when bones cannot heal properly with casting or splinting alone.
When is ORIF Needed? Displaced fractures Comminuted fractures Joint fractures (misaligned bones) (multiple bone fragments) Open fractures Non-healing fractures (bone pierces the skin) (after failed conservative treatment)
How ORIF Works Step 1 3 Open Reduction: 1 Surgeon makes an incision to realign broken bones. Step 2 3 Internal Fixation: 2 Bones are stabilized using metal plates, screws, or rods.
Types of Fixation Devices Plates and Screws Intramedullary Rods or Nails Wires or Pins Made from stainless steel or titanium
Common Bones Treated with ORIF Humerus Radius/Ulna Femur (upper arm) (forearm) (thigh) Tibia/Fibula Ankle, wrist, or hip fractures (lower leg)
Recovery Process Immobilisation: 236 weeks Hospital stay: 133 days (depending on injury) Full recovery: 3 to 6 months, sometimes longer Physical therapy begins soon after
