Acute Open Fracture

My wife just suffered an open fracture due to a workplace accident.

What precautions should I keep in mind during treatment once she’s been helped and released from hospital?

I’ll be going through what I usually do in such cases:

  • restore function to local muscles
  • Evil Bone Water and TDP
  • perfusion
  • soft tissue work

My concern is whether there’s an appropriate timeline for any of these. For example, is pain relief and hemodynamics/fluid dynamics a main focus early while avoiding motor points?

Is there a waiting period before doing any motor points?

Etc.

TIA!

Mechanical Triggers: standing, pressing on it, walking sometimes. Getting out of car always aggravates.

Other: I had her do a figure 4 to check if Satorius was in play and there was restriction on right side but no pain.

PSOAS pecking right (I did not note she failed that but maybe did not chart)

1) Anthony mentioned metrics that he tracks every week to determine how the clinic is performing. I have metrics but would like to compare them to yours. Can you share this?

2) There were 100-140 questions list he mentioned. I used to have this but could I get it again?
