Proceso atención de enfermería en adolescente con fractura de la diáfisis de la tibia.

In the locomotion of the human body, the lower extremities are the primary means for a person to move from one place to another. In our country, motorcyclist accidents are very frequent in adolescents, with polytrauma being the main cause of death, disability or limitation in this age group. This case study focuses on the nursing care process in adolescent patients with a fracture of the tibia diaphysis due to a traffic accident. In the initial assessment, we identified their problems and needs in order to establish nursing care plans and prevent any risk factor that could deteriorate their state of health. Most adolescents end up with surgical procedures, external implants in lower extremities as external fixation tutors, and in more serious cases require prosthesis or amputation of the affected limb as a result of the great trauma, causing our young people not only a physical limitation but also a psychological one. It is essential to keep wounds, bandages, dressings and drains clean and dry, involving the adolescent's family or caregiver at all times.
