Foot Fractures Talus and Calcaneus

Le résumé fourni par la source

Dislocations and displaced fractures tenting skin should be reduced acutely. Minimally displaced and reduced fractures should be splinted to allow for swelling, stabilization, and comfort. A double-U splint is easy to apply, strong, and safe for the skin when used in conjunction with an abdominal pad soft dressing ( Figure 23-1 ). Figure 23-1 (A) Double-U splint with 10 ply footplate folded back over the U-splint. ABD pads are used around the ankle and foot. (B) The elastic bandage is wrapped directly onto the wet plaster, which creates a stronger splint once dry. The footplate can be extended to give extra protection to the forefoot or heel. No plaster is under the heel or the calf. https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href=" https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003525493/8d0b88c3-7167-4a7b-bbda-37f714a4eea8/content/fig23_1.jpg "/>
