ما يمكن توقعه

قبل الإجراء

  • Since broken bones are caused by trauma or an accident, an ORIF surgery is typically an emergency procedure. Before your surgery, you may have:
    • Physical exam—to check your blood circulation and nerves affected by the broken bone
    • X-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan —tests that take a picture of your broken bone and surrounding areas
    • تحاليل الدم
    • Tetanus shot —depending on the type of fracture and if your immunization is current
    • Questions your doctor may ask include: How did you break your bone? How much pain do you feel? Do you take any blood-thinning medicines?
    • Questions you should ask include: Will I need rehabilitation after surgery? What will I need to assist in my recovery (eg, wheelchair , crutches )?
  • An anesthesiologist will talk to you about anesthesia for your surgery.
  • Arrange for a ride home from surgery.
  • If your surgery is urgent, you may not have time to fast beforehand; make sure to tell your doctor and the anesthesiologist when you last ate and drank.
  • If your surgery is scheduled, you may be asked to stop taking medicines that thin the blood, like warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), or aspirin . If surgery is urgent, make sure to let your doctor know if you take any blood-thinners or other medicines.

التخدير

General anesthesia may be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep during the surgery. It is given through an IV (needle in your vein) in your hand or arm. In some instances, a spinal anesthetic, or more rarely a local block, may be used to numb only the area where the surgery will be done. This will depend on where the fracture is located and the time it will take to perform the procedure.

الوصف الداخلي

Each ORIF surgery differs based on the location and type of fracture. In general, a breathing tube may be placed to help you breathe while you are asleep. Then, the surgeon will wash your skin with an antiseptic and make an incision. Next, the broken bone will be put back into place. Next, a plate with screws, a pin, or a rod that goes through the bone will be attached to the bone to hold the broken parts together. The incision will be closed with staples or stitches. A dressing and/or cast will then be applied.
