"Orthopaedic nursing" is a specialty care for patients with musculoskeletal disorders, such as fractures, joint replacements, spine conditions, and soft tissue injuries. This paper will also be featured in the 3rd Edition of the Nursing Research Conference, where experts have illustrated their research to learn more about the current trends in orthopedic care. Nurses are entrusted with different assessments, diagnoses, and management of musculoskeletal disorders, as well as postoperative care and rehabilitation. They are crucial in pain management, wound care, and preventing complications like infections or deep vein thrombosis. Orthopedic nurses instruct patients on using mobility aids, physical therapy, and long-term management strategies, helping them recover and maintain independence after surgeries or injuries.
Session Overview:
Orthopaedic Nursing gave an overview of fracture management, postoperative care, pain management, and rehabilitation for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. Nurses could assess and manage injuries, deliver post-surgical care for orthopedic procedures such as joint replacements, and understand complications such as infection and thrombosis. The program shed light on rehabilitation and mobility aids in recovery. Case studies showed participants how to deliver holistic care and work as part of an interdisciplinary team.
