🗑
an attempt to attach the fragments of the bone together when the reduction alone is not reasible because of the type & the extent of the break   fixation  
🗑
includes the use of rods, pins, nails, screws, or metal plates to align the bone fragments & keep them in place for healing   internal fixation  
🗑
similar to internal fixation but the pins in the bone are attached to an external frame   external fixation
