Feedback 1. Skin color will indicate if circulation has been damaged with the injury. 2. Pain needs to be recognized because of the nerve damage to the area. 3. The lack of pulses will indicate that circulation to the affected area has been blocked. 4. The assessment should occur distal to the fracture. Paralysis occurs because of injury to the spinal cord, not the tibia. |
