Fractures, based on the method of fixation, can be divided into external fixation and internal fixation. External fixation can further be divided into various methods, commonly including plaster fixation, small splint fixation, external fixator brace fixation, orthotic fixation, and traction fixation, among others. Internal fixation, depending on the type of internal fixation device used, can be divided into steel plate screw fixation, simple compression screw fixation, intramedullary nail fixation, etc. Regardless of the type of fixation, the main purpose is to maintain the stability of the fracture and promote fracture healing.
