Open reduction of fracture involves making an incision in the skin and putting the fracture bones together and stabilizing with screws or plates or rod... Closed reduction means that no incision made the fracture is manipulated under a type of x- ray machine called fluoroscopy.

∙ 13y agoOpen treatment (open reduction) is used when the fractured bone is either:
(1) surgically opened (exposed to the external environment) and the fracture (bone ends) visualized and internal fixation may be used.
(2) The fractured bone is opened remote from the fracture site in order to insert an intramedullary nail across the fracture site (the fracture site is not opened and visualized).
Closed treatment (closed reduction) specifically means that the fracture site is not surgically opened (exposed to external environment and directly visualized). This terminology is used to describe procedures that treat fractures by three methods:
(1) without manipulation
(2) with manipulation
(3) with or without traction
Percutaneous skeletal fixation involves treatment of a fracture by placing fixation devices such as pins across the fracture site, usually under x-ray imaging.
