===== Management of fracture and dislocation =====
   −
The basic guidelines for management of fracture and dislocation are to stablise the fractured bone or dislocated joint by application of splints. Proper alignment of bone is mandatory for healing of fractured bone.[ ] Suitable dietary regimen should be followed with avoidance of vidahi (food which causes burning sensation) food. [ ] Strenous exercise is not allowed during healing period due to risk of re-fracture and dislocation. Complications due to fracture of bone or dislocation of joint are managed as per condition. For e.g. If ulcer is due to fracture of bone then treatment of ulcer along with fracture management should be adopted.

The basic guidelines for management of fracture and dislocation are to stabilize the fractured bone or dislocated joint by application of splints. Proper alignment of bone is mandatory for healing of fractured bone.[ ] Suitable dietary regimen should be followed with avoidance of ''vidahi'' (food which causes burning sensation) food. [ ] Strenuous exercise is not allowed during healing period due to risk of re-fracture and dislocation. Complications due to fracture of bone or dislocation of joint are managed as per condition. For e.g. If ulcer is due to fracture of bone then treatment of ulcer along with fracture management should be adopted.  
Eshanakarma (probing):
+
 
It is used in ulcer of narrow opening with expanded base (eg.undermined ulcers). Various types of probes are used in ulcer to know the direction of tract or cavity, depth and discharge from ulcer or sinuses. Generally probing is not done if ulcer is located at vital organs (marma sthana) but in specific conditions as in fistula in ano it can be performed. As per site of ulcer various probes either hard or soft can be used. If deep seated and located at fleshy area hard probe (metallic) is used, in superficially seated ulcers soft probe is used. Probing is essential to know the depth of wound particularly in nadivrana (sinus at any part of the body) or fistula (fistula-in ano is one kind). (Su. Su.25/10).

Cleaning of ulcer is done with shodhana drugs (cleansing agents) leads to vrana ropana (wound healing) process.
If ulcer is contaminated i.e.presence of infective organisms, profuse secretion, presence of slough etc, in these conditions purificatory measures like debridement of ulcer (i.e. removal of slough), irrigation with shodhana kashaya or paste (purificatory measures) should be applied. Once ulcer becomes clean, healthy granulation tissue formation starts. To enhance and protect the granulation tissue vrana ropana drugs (healing drugs) either externally or internally or in combination are used.

Bandaging material, methods and its applicability in vrana (wound):
 
Bandaging of wound is very important as it stabilizes wounded part, prevents external injury, prevents contamination from external sources and enhances healing process. Bandaging should not be too tight, nor too loose. Act of bandaging may be from right or left side while others have mentioned fourteen types[ ] and fifteen types. [ ]
