1. A method of generating a virtual internal fixture on the basis of image reduction, the method comprising:
recognizing positions and shapes of multiple fracture fragments in a medical fracture image including a fracture site;
determining conformity of the multiple fracture fragments by analyzing the shapes of the multiple fracture fragments;
performing image reduction of the fracture site by moving the positions of the multiple fracture fragments on the basis of the conformity; and
generating the virtual internal fixture for fixing the fracture site for which image reduction has been performed.
