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.
Stress fractures of the upper extremity may occur in sports involving repetitive use of the arms, such as baseball or tennis. Stress fractures of the ribs occur in sports such as rowing. Upper extremity and rib stress fractures are far less common than lower extremity stress fractures.1.
