Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'closed reduction': Closed reduction is a non-surgical procedure used to realign a dislocated joint or fractured bone without making an incision.

Clarify the purpose of closed reduction: It is specifically used to restore the normal alignment of a joint or bone that has been displaced, ensuring proper function and reducing pain.

Eliminate incorrect options: Review each option provided in the question and compare it to the definition of closed reduction. For example, closed reduction is not limited to fractures, does not require an incision, and does not always require general anesthesia.

Focus on the correct option: The correct answer is the one that aligns with the definition of closed reduction, which involves realigning the joint without surgical incision.

Summarize the reasoning: Closed reduction is a minimally invasive procedure that avoids surgery, making it a preferred method for treating joint dislocations when possible.
