This post is all about foot and ankle injuries. What is an Emergency? What needs to be evacuated now? What can you take care of yourself? How can you prevent further harm? What steps can be taken for open fractures to improve outcomes?
Until I find a better way to present material, its gonna have to be powerpoint. Just about all medical lectures are powerpoint- a fact of life. It’s part of higher learning. This video is only 8 minutes long. That means I’ll probably have to make more videos if Medics wanna dive a little deeper or get more specific. This is not comprehensive. Shoot me an email and let me know.
This educational video contains:
- What is an Emergency?
- How to think about injuries
- When to Xray
- Initial Management of Open Fractures to prevent infection
- A few Splinting and Casting Principles
- Plantar Fasciitis
