Fracture treatment can be examined in two categories: surgical and non-surgical treatment. In non-surgical treatment, the fracture site is stabilized with a cast or splint. If necessary, the position of the fracture is corrected through closed reduction before stabilization.

Non-surgical methods provide more successful results in children’s fractures due to their remodeling ability. However, surgical treatment is applied under the following conditions:

• Inability to obtain sufficient results from closed reduction
• Intra-articular fractures (if the distance between pieces is more than acceptable)
• Fractures that cannot be stabilized with a cast or splint
• Fractures that will not heal well unless surgically treated due to the nature of the location
• Non-union or malunion of fractures after non-surgical treatment
• Fractures at growth plates in children that could cause growth issues
• Large fractures that could lead to muscle or ligament problems affecting joint function
• Pathological fractures due to causes like tumors
• Fractures in patients with multiple injuries that make sitting or care difficult
• Moderate to severe open fractures
• Patients who could develop other health issues due to prolonged bed rest (especially the elderly)
