A broken bone, being a living tissue has a tendency to heal itself. It is, however, required that the broken bone is withheld in the right position. Nails, Wires, Pins, Staples, and other orthopaedic implants are used to hold the broken bone and fix it in the correct and appropriate position. Choice of fixation depends on the nature of the fracture and the kind of bone.
