Amosynthesis (or osteosynthesis) is a surgical procedure designed to treat bone fractures by repairing and stabilizing broken bone fragments using a variety of materials. Amosynthesis treatments vary depending on the nature of the fracture, the location of the fracture and the patient’s characteristics. Here are some of the common treatment options for amosynthesis: Plates and screws: Metal plates are attached to the bone surface to hold the fragments in place, and screws are used to secure the bone fragments to the plate. This restores normal bone anatomy and promotes healing. Pins: Pins are inserted through bone fragments to hold them in position. They are often used to stabilize fractures in areas where plates cannot be placed easily. External fixator: An external fixator is a device that is placed outside the body and connected to the bone fragments by means of metal rods. It is often used to stabilize complex or open fractures. Intramedullary nails: Metal nails are inserted into the medullary cavity of the bone to hold the fragments in position. This method is often used for long limb fractures. Compression screws: These are designed to compress bone fragments together, promoting better healing. Kirschner wires (K-wires): These metal wires are inserted through bone fragments to hold them in place. They are often used for hand and foot fractures. Bioabsorbable fixation material: In some cases, fixation material that naturally resorbs over time can be used for temporary fracture stabilization. The choice of treatment will depend on many factors, such as the location of the fracture, the type of fracture, the patient’s age and state of health, and the surgeon’s experience and preference. After amosteosynthesis, a period of recovery, immobilization and rehabilitation may be required to allow adequate healing and restoration of normal bone function. steosynthesis (or osteosynthesis) is a surgical procedure designed to repair and stabilize bone fractures using various materials such as plates, screws, pins or other medical devices. The aim of amosteosynthesis is to realign broken bone fragments, maintain their correct position during the healing process and promote bone consolidation. This technique is often used to treat complex fractures, fractures with significant displacement, articular fractures or fractures that do not heal properly on their own. During amosynthesis, the surgeon may use different types of material to hold the bone fragments together, enabling proper repair and restoration of the normal structure and function of the affected bone.
