Today I'm going to show you a demonstration on cleaning, irrigating, and. dressing an open wound. This is going to combine two skills in your textbook. One is irrigating a. wound using sterile technique. The other is cleaning and dressing a wound using a wet to damp. dressing change.
Stress fractures are also common in the calcaneus (heel); fibula (the outer bone of the lower leg and ankle); talus (a small bone in the ankle joint); and the navicular (a bone on the top of the midfoot). The most common sites for stress fractures in the foot are the metatarsal bones.
Both modalities have a similar sensitivity, but magnetic resonance imaging has greater specificity. Treatment of stress fractures consists of activity modification, including the use of nonweight-bearing crutches if needed for pain relief. Analgesics are appropriate to relieve pain, and pneumatic bracing can be used to facilitate healing.
