Breakthrough for Broken Bones
source: Annanova

 

Swiss scientists have developed a way of halving the time it takes to fix a broken bone.

No plaster cast is needed so physiotherapy can begin almost straight away.

Surgeons insert a plate just above the surface of the bone and insert tiny screws through keyhole surgery.

The Locking Compression Plate is different from other medical plates because it doesn't rest on the bone and so allows blood to reach its surface.

Trials have seen it reduce recovery time by as much as six to eight weeks. Although it costs more it can save money in the long run by allowing the patient to return to work more quickly.

It was developed at the AO Foundation in the ski resort of Davos, according to The Times.
