Internal fixation involves the use of metal plates, screws, rods, or pins to stabilize broken bones or joints. These implants are inserted internally, directly into the bone, to hold the broken fragments in place while they heal. The internal fixation devices provide stability and support during the healing process, allowing for proper alignment and function of the bone or joint.
