The treatment of fractures requires surgery depending on a variety of factors, including the type, location, severity, and age and health of the patient. Not all fractures require surgery.

Non-surgical treatment is usually conservative, such as fixing the injured area with a cast or brace, allowing the bone to heal naturally. This approach is suitable for simple fractures or fractures that are not significantly displaced, especially in children, where conservative treatment can often achieve satisfactory results due to bone growth.

However, non-surgical treatment may not be appropriate in all cases. Surgery may be necessary for complex fractures (such as comminuted fractures), intra-articular fractures, open fractures (fractures that penetrate the skin), or fractures that cause limb dysfunction. Surgery can stabilize the fracture site with internal fixation (such as plates, screws), helping to restore bone structure and function, promote healing, and reduce the risk of complications.
