Why would a doctor need to break your bone again?

If you hear your doctor say that you need to break your bones again, how would you feel? You may feel confused and scared because, in most cases, the bones need to be treated and not broken by a doctor. However, he did not listen to the doctor incorrectly. In effect, it is telling you that you need to break your bones in order to continue treatment. If you want to know why you have to do it, 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 will re-break a bone that was previously broken. In a more technical term, this is known as fracture reduction or readjustment. It is the procedure that aims to restore and correctly align the broken bones.

The first and foremost reason that re-breaking is necessary is that bones sometimes heal improperly. When your bones break, they become deformed. When they heal on their own, they are still misshapen and this condition can have some issues. First, the bone deformity can affect the way you move. You may not be able to move as freely as you used to if some of your bones are not aligned properly. Second, the bone deformity is not pleasant to look at. It doesn’t look good, therefore many people have their bones readjusted.

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

After breaking your bone again, 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 relievers and sedatives so that you do not feel the pain as much. After the entire procedure, your doctor may wear 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 heal effectively 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 are concerned about the procedure. For more information on healthy bones, consult your doctor, osteopath, or physical therapist.
