Why would a doctor need to break his bone again?

If you hear your doctor say that you need to break your bones again, what would you feel? You may be confused and scared because in most cases a doctor should treat the bones, not break them. However, he did not listen to the doctor incorrectly. In effect, he is telling you that he needs to break your bones in order to continue treatment. If you want to know why it has to be done, then you are on the right page! This article will tell you why this procedure is necessary.

Here’s the thing. The term used is “re-break”. This means that the doctor is going to break again a bone that has already been broken. In a more technical term, this is known as fracture reduction or replacement. It is the procedure that aims to restore and correctly align broken bones.

The first and foremost reason a re-break is necessary is that bones sometimes heal incorrectly. When your bones break, they become misshapen. When they heal on their own, they are still deformed and this condition can have some problems. First, the bone deformity can affect the way you move. You may not be able to move as freely as before if some of your bones are not aligned correctly. Second, bone deformity is not pretty to look at. It doesn’t look good, which is why many people have a bone reset.

There are two types of reduction method. The first method is open reduction. This usually does not involve re-breaking because the fracture is still fresh. This is a condition where the broken bones cut through the skin and become exposed. It could also mean that the surgeon exposed the bone to better dissect the tissues affected by the fracture. The second type is closed reduction. In this procedure, the bones are not exposed to air. The skin can be cut but the bones remain hidden underneath.

After re-breaking your bone, your doctor will proceed to align the bones so that when they heal, they heal in the correct way and position. You will be given pain medicine and sedatives to reduce the pain. After the entire procedure, your doctor may use implants or casts. For bone fractures that are quite severe, implants may need to be added internally to hold the bones together. However, if the bones were slightly fractured and can effectively heal on their own, casts and tractions are sufficient.

Always listen to your doctor about what is best for your condition. They know exactly what you need. Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you have concerns about the procedure. For more information on healthy bones, consult your doctor, osteopath or physical therapist.
