Fractured Neck

Introduction

Femoral neck fracture is a common disease in orthopedic trauma, more common in elderly care due to the fracture site special, long time in bed, more complications summarized below. Older women are more prone to fracture of the femoral neck than man. Probably one of the most common fractures, occur in any social community, especially where there are people over 60 years. Early recognition and immediate action basic treatment are transcendent in the patient's future. Below is the report on Fracture neck of femur, in this report fracture neck of the femur is discussed and what steps should be taken in as per emergency nursing, later in this report multidisciplinary team and its responsibilities with issues are highlighted.

Discussion

The neck of the femur is the junction between the femoral head that fits into the pelvis and the vertical portion of the femur. The femoral neck is the weakest part of this bone as it forms an elbow. The femoral neck fracture is the leading-related fractures in old age, by the frequency, the severity of its complications and the importance of its economic impact.The femoral neck fracture usually occurs after trauma. In the elderly, it can be quite minor, it is most often a simple fall of his own height.If the bone breaks so easily, it is often due to osteoporosis, which occurs after menopause: the bones are less able than before to fix calcium and become brittle, breaking easily at the slightest shock . The femoral head is already more fragile than the rest of the skeleton in normal and becomes more vulnerable.The role of the emergency nurseTraction care,Require surgical treatment. Relieve pain, to avoid fracture displacement, damage surrounding tissue, ease of surgical reduction, and reduce hand blood loss, intraoperative Can first traction therapy 7 to 10 days, traction skin traction and skeletal traction.Skin traction care and attention to observe the tape and bandage loose or fall off, with or without tape allergy. Encourage patients to take the semi-recumbent position for the quadriceps contraction and relaxation exercise, ankle and toe flexion and extension. Lower limb traction, leashes, pay attention to check the tightness of the observed bone protrusion parts with or without compression, the blood supply of the extremities and feel the movement of conflict in the bone part of the cotton pad.Skeletal traction nursing commonly used tibial tubercle bone traction. Care and special attention should be observed whether the common peroneal nerve injury symptoms, such as foot dorsiflexion weakness and lower limb sensory-motor disorders. Shot tract infections, to keep the needle clean, dry day, with 75% alcohol to disinfect the eye of a needle at 1 or 2 times. Prevent sliding around the traction pin, traction pin is slightly bent, with a rubber stopper from both ends of the traction pin penetration, card pulling the needle out of the skin at both ends. If the offset is not readily traction satisfied back, the application of iodine alcohol after disinfection raised symmetry. Traction process to keep the limb placed in outreach to the ...
