[Biomechanical principles of surgical treatment of bone fractures (author's transl)]
Abstract:
Amongst the basic biomechanic principles of osteosynthesis we distinguish interfragmentary compression from intra- or extramedullary splinting. Special techniques and implants to achieve optimal stability are available. For special situation a combination of both principles is advantageous. Whenever operative treatment in fractures is indicated these principles should be followed strictly.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
