Answer:

Internal fixation is a type of fixation of a fracture usually is not removed after the fracture has healed.

Explanation:

When a bone is fractured, it should be immediately stabilized to allow full recovery.

Internal Fixation is a orthopedic surgical procedure which involves stabilization of the broken bones internally by using screws, plates, wires, and nails. This also reduces the incidence of malunion (fracture did not heal in right position), nonunion (fracture did not heal properly) and possibility of earlier functional rehabilitation. The implants used in internal fixation are usually made from stainless steel and titanium, same as those found airplane parts.
