Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Nursing Care

Background:

  • The Ilizarov device is an innovative orthopedic treatment for complex fractures.
  • Patients often have a history of multiple failed surgeries, leading to anxiety.

Observation:

  • Perioperative nurses play a vital role as patient advocates during innovative procedures.
  • Patient advocacy is heightened when patients undergo novel surgical techniques like the Ilizarov device.

Findings:

  • Nurses must empower patients to communicate their needs and concerns.
  • Establishing open communication between patients, nurses, and the interdisciplinary team is essential.

Implications:

  • This approach fosters a collaborative environment for problem-solving.
