Does a medial tibial fracture normally need surgery to repair?
Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.
Why is fixing a fractured bone called reducing the fracture?
"Reducing a fracture" is literally what you do when you "fix" a bone that is fractured. When a bone breaks there is a "space" separating the two pieces of bone. The space, also called a "fracture", can be very small or very large but there is a space nonetheless. To fix this bone you need to bring the two pieces back together in an anatomic position and "minimize the space" created by the break or in other words "reduce the fracture"

My little girl fell and had a buckle fracture she got her cast off 3 or 4 weeks ago Now she has a rash on the same wrist she fractured Do you think this has anything to do w the fracture?
very unlikely that the rash is related. more likely it results from the irritaion of having a dirty sweaty stinky cast held to her sensitive skin for three weeks, or even a new surnburn on recently exposed skin. not related to the fracture, i assure you. hope that helps
