When a<unk>  experiences a<unk> , he or she will have pain and will not be able to easily move the<unk> d area. A doctor or emergency care should be contacted immediately. In some cases even though the<unk>  will not have pain and will still be able to move, medical help must be sought out immediately. To decrease the pain, bleeding, and movement a physician will put a splint on the<unk> d area. Treatment for a<unk>  follows a simple rule: the<unk> s have to be aligned correctly and prevented from moving out of place until the<unk> s are healed. The specific treatment applied depends on how severe the<unk>  is, if it's an open or closed<unk> , and the specific<unk>  involved in the<unk>  (a hip<unk>  is treated differently from a forearm<unk>  for example) Different treatments for different<unk> s: The general treatments for common<unk> s are as follows: Cast immobilization Because most<unk> s heal successfully after having been repositioned, a simple plaster or fiberglass cast is commonly used. Functional cast or brace A cast, or brace, that allows limited movement of the nearby joints is acceptable for some<unk> s. Traction This treatment consists of aligning a<unk>  or<unk> s by a gentle, steady pulling action. The pulling may be transmitted to the<unk>  or<unk> s by a metal pin through a<unk>  or by skin tapes. This is a preliminary treatment used in preparation for other secondary treatments. Open reduction and internal fixation This treatment is only used when an orthopedic surgeon assigns it to restore the<unk> d<unk>  to its original function. This method positions the<unk> s to their exact location, but there is a risk for infection and other complications. The procedure involves the orthopedist performing surgery on the<unk>  to align the<unk>  fragments, followed by the placement of special screws or metal plates to the outer surface of the<unk> . The fragments can also be held together by running metal rods through the marrow in the center of the<unk> . External fixation This treatment also requires surgery by an orthopedist. Pins or screws are placed into the<unk> d<unk>  above and below the<unk>  site. The orthopedic surgeon repositions the<unk>  fragments and pins or screws are connected to a metal bar or bars outside the skin which holds the<unk> s in their proper position so they can heal. The external fixation device is removed after an appropriate time period.
