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.
Treatment of a broken leg will vary, depending on the type and location of the break. Stress fractures may require only rest and immobilization. Fractures are classified into one or more of the following categories: Open (compound) fracture. In this type of fracture, the skin is pierced by the broken bone. This is a serious condition that requires immediate, aggressive treatment to decrease your chance of an infection. Closed fracture. In closed fractures, the surrounding skin remains intact.
