how should a burn be treated on a fractured limb
Generally, you would immobilize a limb with a greenstick fracture until the bone healed. The doctor might not use a cast to immobilize it.
The limb should be immobilised with splints. It should be moved as little as possible to reduce the chance of further injury.
Simple FractureAccording to Chester College, a simple bone fracture, also called a closed fracture, occurs when the bone is broken but the broken edge of the bone does not penetrate the skin. If the injury is in the back, neck or head, you should not attempt to move the patient; instead contact emergency personnel. If you suspect a simple fracture in a limb, immobilize the limb and seek medical attention. A simple fracture is typically treated by immobilizing the limb in a cast for an extended period of time.Compound FractureA compound or open fracture occurs when the bone penetrates the skin, whether the bone remains outside the skin or not. In the case of a compound fracture, you should seek emergency aid and not try to move or stabilize the bone, as complications may occur. A compound fracture may require surgery, with or without metal pins being inserted to secure the bone edges; a cast is then applied to allow the bone time to heal.Stress FractureA stress fracture typically occurs when a bone is subjected to prolonged force or repeated impact, resulting in a hairline crack or multiple tiny fractures in the bone. This type of fracture is common in sports, such as running, when the foot bones are subjected to repeated stress. A stress fracture may be mistaken for a bad sprain, especially in the foot or ankle.There are 3 injuries of bones:Sprain,Dislocation,Fracture.
The type of fracture common in children is a fracture of the limb (either arm of leg). This is due the nature of rambunctious activity children normally engage themselves in.
Yes... if you suspect someone has a fracture - first, immobilise the limb, then seek medical treatment as a matter of urgency.
You could use 729.5 for pain in a limb plus V67.4 which is for treatment of a healed fracture.
Immobilize the bone, above and below the fracture,and immobilize the joints, above and below the fracture.A lower leg fracture should be splinted from above the knee to below the ankle.If the fracture is compounded, (bone pierces through the skin),DO NOT push the bone backCover to prevent infection and make the splint the current shape of the legDO NOT manipulate the limb to suit the splint.
Not necessarily. It can be treated. In many cases though, the limb may have to be amputated. Each case is different.
