surgical correction is generally only required for __________. a. minor injuries b. fractures c. very serious injuries d. hematomas

Surgical correction is generally only required for fractures. Fractures often need surgical intervention to realign and stabilize the broken bones to ensure proper healing, especially if the fracture is complex or severe. Other injury types, such as minor injuries or hematomas, typically do not require surgical correction, and very serious injuries could encompass fractures or other conditions that may necessitate surgery. Therefore, the correct answer is:
b. fractures
