Close reduction-internal fixation
Closed reduction-internal fixation, abbreviated to CRIF, refers to the orthopedic operative management of a fracture (or fracture-dislocation complex) where closed reduction is performed (manipulation) and internal fixation is applied, usually in the form of K-wires to stabilize the fracture.
Closed reduction-internal fixation is the management of choice for displaced supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
