A. Providing patient comfort and analgesia.

B. Allowing for restoration of length of the extremity.

C. Correcting angular deformity and rotation. 

E. Providing a foundation for bone healing and union.

DISCUSSION: The goals of fracture reduction include patient comfort and analgesia through stabilization of the bone ends. Furthermore, restoration of the length, angulation, and rotational alignment of the extremity should be achieved to allow proper union. Reduction does not, however, allow immediate motion for all fractures.
