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.
Overview. A stress fracture is a small crack in a bone caused by overuse and high impact. A stress fracture results from repetitive use injuries that exceed the ability of the bone to repair itself.Impact forces are transferred to the bones, causing microfractures that consolidate into stress fractures. Stress fractures occur in weight-bearing areas, commonly the lower leg (tibia) and foot (metatarsals). stress fracture results from repetitive use injuries that exceed the ability of the bone to repair itself.
