Skeletal injuries management

Managing skeletal injuries involves assessing the injury, immobilizing the affected area to prevent further damage, and seeking medical help promptly. This includes keeping the person still, avoiding moving broken bones or dislocated joints, and applying splints or padding to support the injured limb. Applying ice can reduce swelling and pain. Do not try to realign bones yourself. Once at the hospital, healthcare providers will examine, X-ray if needed, and perform necessary treatments like setting bones or surgery. Proper care minimizes complications, speeds healing, and restores function.
