About this document
Understanding Broken Bone Treatment by Maier Olimpiu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The presentation described how Sarah broke her leg while skateboarding and the process for treating it. It explained that a broken bone should not be moved, as that can make the injury worse. At the hospital, an X-ray was used to see where the bone was broken and how serious it was. The doctor then set the broken bone in place. A cast, made of bandages covered in plaster, is used to keep the bone still and allow it to heal. The cast remains for 1-2 months until the bone is fully healed.
