Manipulation or closed reduction is the procedure of realignment of the bone involved in a fracture or joint dislocation. It differs from open reduction in that the skin is not broken to realign the bone.
A closed fracture is when the skin is still intact. A compound fracture is when the broken bone is sticking through the skin.
