Internal Fixation: Revolutionizing Fracture Treatment at Boston Medical CenterBoston, MA - A broken bone is a common injury and can be extremely painful and debilitating, severely limiting an individual's mobility and independence. Treating a fractured bone is a critical process that requires stabilization and support until the bone is strong enough to support weight and movement. Until recently, doctors and medical professionals relied on external methods such as casts and splints to support broken bones. However, with the advancement in research and medical technology, and the introduction of internal fixation methods, patients can experience a much faster and efficient recovery.At Boston Medical Center (BMC), team of experienced physicians is utilizing cutting-edge internal fixation procedures to provide effective care to patients with fractures. Internal fixation is a surgical procedure that involves the use of hardware, such as screws and plates, to stabilize and align the broken bone from within the body.Traditionally, patients with fractures would need to wear a cast or a brace to immobilize the affected area to allow the bone to heal. However, external methods alone can be less effective for more complicated fractures of larger bones, such as the femur or pelvis. Additionally, patients must keep the cast on until the bone completely heals, which can take months for larger bones.With internal fixation techniques, patients can recover faster, with less pain and excellent long-term results. Hardware is placed inside the bone to enable internal support, allowing patients to begin recovery and rehabilitation soon after surgery while healing from the inside out. Internal fixation significantly reduces the overall recovery time as patients can gradually return to their daily activities within a few weeks, rather than months."Boston Medical Center is proud to offer the latest advancements in medical technology," says (need physician name and title), (need department name and title) of BMC.

It has allowed us to treat the more severe fractures that would typically need external immobilization and support, and it has enabled quicker recovery time with minimal impact on a patient's quality of life."The use of internal fixation can help speed up the healing process, allow for more natural movement as the bone heals, and ultimately result in a better long-term outcome for patients. However, patients must be evaluated to determine if internal fixation is the right treatment option for their injury. At BMC, the expert medical team, including surgeons, physical therapists, and nurses, work together to ensure patients receive comprehensive care and support throughout their recovery."Patients can expect a faster recovery time and better long-term outcomes with internal fixation techniques," says (name and title).
