Bone fixation extraction

Orthopedic internal fixation materials are the surgical equipment needed for many fracture patients during surgery. Traditional orthopedic internal fixation materials currently used in clinical practice mainly include stainless steel series, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, titanium and titanium alloys, etc. These are permanent implant materials. In the operation, stainless steel plates, screws, steel wires, intramedullary needles, etc. were used to fix the restored fractures directly in order to maintain a good reduction and ensure the normal healing process of the fractures. As the fracture heals, the role of the internal fixation gradually decreases. After the fracture has completely healed, the task of the internal fixation is completed.
