what is a surgical reduction?

Surgical reduction is a medical procedure aimed at correcting a deformity or restoring the normal anatomy of a body part, often following an injury or condition such as a fracture or dislocation. It involves the manual or surgical repositioning of bones, joints, or soft tissues to achieve proper alignment and function. This procedure is commonly used in orthopedic surgery to improve mobility and relieve pain. Post-operative rehabilitation is typically necessary to ensure optimal recovery and restore strength and functionality.
