Title: Mrs. Brown was outside on her patio cleaning windows when she fell off her step Post by: barry on Apr 6, 2012 Mrs. Brown was outside on her patio cleaning windows when she fell off her step ladder and fractured her right hip. She had emergency surgery with an open reduction and internal fixation of the right hip. Three days postoperatively, she asks you if she will have trouble going through airport security. What has prompted her concern?
Title: Re: Mrs. Brown was outside on her patio cleaning windows when she fell off her step Post by: lewis on Apr 12, 2012 Open reduction is the correction of the bone alignment through a surgical incision. It may include internal fixation of the fracture with the use of rods, wire, screws, pins, or nails, metal items that may trigger security alarms.
