An open reduction-internal fixation, commonly abbreviated to ORIF, refers to the orthopedic operative management of a fracture (or fracture-dislocation complex) where reduction requires surgical (hence open) approach and internal fixation is applied.
Internal fixation may be in the form of:
screws
intramedullary nail
plates and screws
pins
cords (e.g. TightRope)
