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.
The ribs are an uncommon site for a stress fracture, however, through repetitive or increased loading, they can occur. Typically, rib stress fractures occur in the 1st rib anterolaterally (front/side), the 4th - 9th ribs laterally (side) and posterolaterally (back/side), and the posteromedial (front/middle) upper ribs.
