Question: Disucss about the Campbell Operative Orthopedics. Answer: Introduction: The essay deals with the case study of a person who walks into a dark room without shoes and kicks the metal chair by accident. Initially, the person may feel confused therefore, he should widely open his eyes so that some amount of light or shadow can guide him. The person may wide open his arms to sense the furniture and walls in the room and alert all his senses to hear or touch anything that can offer him some help. Since the person was barefoot, he was hurt by mistakenly hitting a metal chair. The person collapses on the floor grabbing his foot due to intense pain. Since the person has already hurt his foot, he may experience preconceived apprehensions of bumping in again in the darkness. He sat in a corner with tear filled eyes. As the pain was intense, his mind portrayed a picture of a broken toe. With the pain turning severe, he groaned in pain calling for his about help him. Meanwhile, the person can press his toe harder for gaining some comfort. His friend entered the room turning on the light. His foot found was covered with blood. He was laid on a bed by his friend. He was unable to move his toe and was tender when touched. Later the person cared his foot with RICE technique taking help from his friend. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation (Stolt et al. 2015). For the rest of the day he gave complete rest to his foot and using minimum movement for using a kitchen and other necessary activities until the pain subsides. To allow the blood circulation and to keep the joints mobile he used his foot to draw alphabets in the air. He further used ice packs to reduce swelling and taking help from his friend he wrapped a bandage around his foot avoiding too much compression. Precautions were taken to compress the entire foot to reduce swelling. Finally, he placed his foot at a level above his heart as elevation helps to reduce swelling (Rice et al. 2013). After two days he visited an orthopedic clinic to address any major injury as swelling had not reduced. A foot is comprised of 33 joints, 26 bones, and 100 tendons and muscles. It is a flexible body part that takes the entire body weight and is incredibly resilient (Zone and Guide 2017). When injured foot is highly vulnerable and if a major bone in feet is not given sufficient care it is highly likely to dislodge and break permanently. If untreated it may cause bony prominence and inflammation of the surrounding muscles (Azar et al. 2016). The person was administered steroids for reducing swelling along with mild sedatives as his pain score was high. The doctor informed that the injury will take some more time to recover but does not need a surgery. After his pain had been reduced, he started MSA process upon physicians recommendations which stand for "Movement (full range of motions), Strength (strengthening the injured area) and Alternate activities (exercises) (Stolt et al. 2010). His treatment helped him recover completely. References Azar, F.M., Canale, S.T. and Beaty, J.H., 2016.Campbell's operative orthopedics. Elsevier Health Sciences.
