The first thing medical professionals usually does is to clean and assess the wound. They clean to get rid of any foreign particles and infectious agents. They examine and assess to determine the wound’s nature. After they have a good idea of what’s going on, they will attempt to repair the wound, in this case the broken bone, by removing any dead skin, setting the bone, and stitching the skin. They will then scaffold the would by providing supports, like a cast to keep the appendage immobilized or a bandage to prevent serious infection. They will also offer pain management to ensure healing energy is not unnecessarily diverted and so the individual can properly rest. The final part of treatment is education. Medical professionals will educate the individual on what they need to do to facilitate and speed the healing process. This education may involve advise on nutrition, rest, and how to protect the wound.
