What are sprains?
injuries to ligaments caused by twisting
S&S of sprains and strains
pain aggravated by continued use, edema, decreased Rom and function, bruising
(contusion), full function in 3-6 weeks
what is a strain?
excessive stretching of muscle and/or tendon
Nursing care for sprains and strains
R- Rest
I - Ice
C - Compression
E- Elevation
A- analgesics
,2|Page
complications of sprains/strains
- surgery
- hemarthrosis (bleeding into joint space)
- avulsion fx (pull bond fragment lose)
- dislocation
dislocation
full displacement of a bone from its joint
subluxation
partial dislocation of a joint
Clinical Manifestations of dislocation
deformity, pain, loss of function, swelling
Diagnostics of dislocation
x-ray and aspiration if hemarthrosis present
,3|Page
what are the main complications for dislocation?
- interarticular fx
- avascular necrosis
- neurovascular damage
Interarticular fracture
fracture into a joint surface
avascular necrosis
an area of bone tissue death caused by insufficient blood flow
- longer something is dislocated increases this risk
closed reduction
nonsurgical realignment of dislocation
open reduction
surgical realignment of dislocation
how do nurses manage dislocation?
, 4|Page
monitor neurovascular status, pain relief, educate on protection of join
