Closed reduction for broken bones
Closed reduction surgery and casting of fractures. If you've broken a bone, our orthopaedic surgeons can reset it without cutting into your skin.
What is closed reduction surgery?
If you or your child have broken a bone, our orthopaedic surgeons can reset it without cutting into the skin. This allows the bone to grow back quickly and naturally.
It's best done as soon as possible after the bone breaks. It's a common treatment for babies aged 6 to 24 months.
Need to know
A closed reduction procedure can be painful, so you or your child may receive a sedative. Alternatively, the procedure may be carried under local anaesthetic or under general anaesthetic.
Your orthopaedic surgeon will physically manipulate the bone to reset it. Once it's in the right position, they'll apply a cast to hold it in place and help it heal.
Your consultant will explain the procedure and answer any questions you might have. If you're having a general anesthetic, you may be asked to limit your or your child's food or drink intake beforehand.
Like all procedures, there may be some risks and side effects involved. Your consultant will explain these to you.
Your consultant will let you know when you can get back to your usual routine. It's likely you'll be asked to return to the hospital to have your cast removed and so that your consultant can assess your bone.

Alan's story
Despite years of experiencing heart problems that just wouldn’t go away, Alan was apprehensive about having a surgical procedure. But with the expertise of his consultant and the latest cardiac technology, he decided to go ahead.
Andrew's story
“I couldn’t move my legs at all, and my arms only partially. But now I can walk six miles. I wouldn’t have got that without the physio team at The Christie Private Care, I simply wouldn’t have.”
How a second opinion helped uncover a hidden cardiac problem
Former Olympic swimmer, Adrian, was used to prioritising his physical wellbeing and continued to exercise regularly, keeping him in good health into his 60s. But when he got out of the pool one day, he noticed that something wasn’t right.
