Description
Tibial fractures can be categorized as those that are badly displaced, requiring surgery, and those that are well aligned, requiring a cast. Regardless of the type of fracture, clients need specific education that helps them know signs and symptoms that mean they are having complications they can seek immediate medical attention.
Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
This Fractured Tibia Stoplight Tool can help your client recognize those signs and symptoms that indicate a worsening of their injury, so complications can be prevented. This tool can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
