Reflect on the lived experience of the client with a hip fracture and understand the health teaching and health promotion needs of an individual experiencing fracture correction, and joint replacement surgery. Sometimes a 3rd degree sprain can be worse than a broken bone (pain, healing time) Can result in an avulsion fracture, subluxation, dislocation, or hemarthrosis: avulsion fracture = ligament pulls loose a fragment of bone, hemarthrosis = bleeding into a joint space or cavity. Sprains type 2 ligament is partially cut type 3 worst; ligament is severed completely.
