@science.crafty: How Surgeons Repair a Broken Foot! 🦶 Step-by-Step Metatarsal Fracture Surgery (ORIF) Watch the surgical precision of orthopedic foot and ankle surgery as surgeons repair a displaced metatarsal fracture using open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)[cite: 17]: 1. Surgical Access: A dorsal incision exposes the fractured metatarsal bone while preserving surrounding extensor tendons and neurovascular bundles[cite: 17]. 2. Fracture Realignment: Specialized bone-holding reduction forceps align the displaced bone fragments back into anatomical alignment[cite: 17]. 3. Plate Positioning: A low-profile titanium fracture plate is contoured and aligned directly over the bone[cite: 17]. 4. Calibrated Drilling: Precision surgical drills create pilot holes into the cortical bone[cite: 17]. 5. Rigid Screw Fixation: Cortical and locking screws are tightened across the plate to compress the fracture gap and provide rigid biomechanical stability[cite: 17]. 6. Incision Closure: Soft tissues and skin are carefully sutured, enabling early rehabilitation and bone consolidation[cite: 17]. Rigid internal fixation eliminates interfragmentary motion, allowing the patient to regain weight-bearing mobility faster while preventing malunion[cite: 17].
