What Is Manual Reduction? Fracture of the Fibula, Broken Nose

What is manual reduction?

You’ve probably heard a lot about manual therapy, right? The word manual means “hand” in Chinese characters.

Reduction means restoring something to its normal state or putting it back in place. When a bone is broken or dislocated, it refers to the act of returning it to its original position.

Putting the meanings together,

manually returning a broken bone or a dislocated bone to its original position without making an incision in the skin or using surgical instruments is called manual reduction. (It is also called closed reduction.)

Cocoline manual reduction insurance information

It is quite common for the nasal bone to break due to everyday accidents or vigorous exercise.

At Cocoline, an otolaryngology clinic where a specialist can provide both rhinoplasty and functional surgery treatment, there are many inquiries to the hospital about manual reduction, and as a result, there are many related medical procedures.

If there is no swelling after a nasal bone fracture (fracture of the fibula), surgery can be performed right away. However, if swelling develops, surgery can be performed after the swelling goes down. If that timing is delayed too much, the shape may change, so it is best to visit the clinic first to check the condition.

Manual reduction is covered by insurance, so the burden of treatment costs is smaller. Any shape changes that may occur are also carefully examined by a specialist, so please do not worry and feel free to inquire.
