Detailed explanation-1: -An infection after fracture will usually cause increased pain, warmth, redness, and swelling around the affected area-more than what is considered normal. In addition, a pus pocket may form and, if it bursts, pus will drain from the injury. You may also have a fever, chills, and night sweats.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nursing Interventions Use strict aseptic or clean techniques as indicated to reinforce or change dressings and when handling drains. Instruct patient not to touch or scratch incision. Rationale: Prevents contamination and risk of wound infection, which could require removal of prosthesis.
