PERAWATAN LUKA PASIEN POST ORIF PATELLA SINISTRA MENGGUNAKAN NaCl 0,9% DAN GENTAMICIN SULFAT

Abstract

Fracture is any crack or break caused by trauma and physical activity. A direct blow to the
kneecap area can result in a patella fracture. Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgery is an
option for treating fractures using the surgical method, requiring wound care to speed up healing and
prevent infection. Mixing gentamicin sulfate and 0.9% NaCl solution in treating wounds can speed up
the wound healing process by helping the formation of new granulation tissue. The purpose of this
study was to describe wound care using 0.9% NaCl and gentamicin sulfate in post debridement
fracture patients + left patella orif. This research is included in descriptive research and a case study
research design is used in scientific writing. Interviews and wound assessment observations were used
for data collection. Patients with patellar orif fractures and post-debridement fractures were eligible
to participate as long as they met the inclusion criteria. Patients with infected post orif patella
fractures and children under 18 years of age were excluded. Based on the results of wound care for 5
meetings, the patient's wound appeared to be improving with slight changes in the red and pink
wounds. It can be concluded that wound care in post debridement fracture patients + left patella orif
experienced wound healing
