Detailed explanation-1: -Clinical Presentation of Hip Fracture The physical examination commonly reveals an abducted and externally rotated hip with leg-length discrepancy. The patient usually has localized tenderness over the hip and limited range of motion of the affected limb during attempts at passive and active rotation and flexion.
Detailed explanation-2: -To perform a reduction of a fracture, EMS providers start by checking for distal circulation, sensation, and motor function. Next, stabilize above and below the injury, followed by applying gentle traction to the distal extremity in the direction it is facing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stop any bleeding. Apply pressure to the wound with a sterile bandage, a clean cloth or a clean piece of clothing. Immobilize the injured area. Don’t try to realign the bone or push a bone that’s sticking out back in. Apply ice packs to limit swelling and help relieve pain. Treat for shock.
