GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:Réduction
English translation:reduction
Entered by: Sarah Jamieson

French to English translations [Non-PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / Report of an operation, owing to a Left femoral neck compound fracture (Garden 1 fracture)
French term or phrase: Réduction
Controle de la réduction sous clichés scopiques de face et de profil

This describing what happened in an operation. The sentence before is this "installation de la patiente sur table orthopedique avec traction du mebre inferieur"

I am not clear what "réduction" means and what it could refer to.

Many thanks.

What is a closed reduction?

A closed reduction is a procedure to line up the ends of a broken (fractured) bone without the need for surgery. This will help the fractured bone heal correctly. It may be done right after your injury or several days later.
How is a closed reduction done?

Your doctor will give you medicine to help you relax and help with pain. The doctor will push or pull the ends of the fractured bone until they line up. This part of the procedure is called reduction. Then your doctor will put a cast or splint on the affected arm or leg to help hold the bone in place while it heals. The doctor will take an X-ray to check that the bone is properly lined up.
