Non-Surgical Fracture & Dislocation Management by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Closed reduction is a non-surgical procedure used to realign broken bones (fractures) or dislocated joints without making any surgical incision. The bones are manipulated externally to restore their normal alignment.
This procedure is typically performed under local, regional, or sedation anesthesia to minimize pain and discomfort. Once the bones are aligned, they are immobilized using a cast, splint, or brace to allow proper healing.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs closed reduction with precision techniques to ensure proper alignment and stability, reducing the need for surgery in suitable cases.
Closed reduction is often the first line of treatment for simple fractures and dislocations, offering effective results with minimal risk and faster recovery.
When is this procedure recommended?
Simple fractures without severe displacement
Dislocated joints (shoulder, elbow, finger, etc.)
Fractures in children and young patients
Early-stage fractures before swelling increases
Stable fractures suitable for non-surgical management
Minor bone misalignment
Emergency fracture realignment
Patients unfit for surgery
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Clinical examination and imaging (X-rays) are done to evaluate the fracture or dislocation.
Local, regional, or sedation anesthesia is administered for pain control.
The surgeon gently manipulates the bone or joint externally to restore proper alignment.
Post-reduction X-rays are taken to confirm correct alignment.
A cast, splint, or brace is applied to maintain alignment during healing.
Regular follow-up visits and imaging ensure proper healing and alignment.
