Signs of inflammation

In the given case, painful feet, elevated temperature of the burnt skin, and loss of motor function of the broken foot are the observable local signs of inflammation.

The stage of inflammation is acute stage

Explanation:

An inflammation is an immune response of the body to protect it from infection or foreign bodies. When an inflammatory response is triggered, the body shows inflammatory signs and symptoms.

The five basic or cardinal local noticeable signs of inflammation are pain (calor), heat (dolor), redness (rubor), swelling (tumor), and loss of function (function laesa) at the target area or the part affected.

Elevated white blood cell count (leucocytosis) and ESR count are markers for inflammation.

The three stages of inflammation are acute, sub-acute, and the chronic stage.

Acute stage is characterized by swelling and other cardinal signs of inflammation.
Subacute stage involves regenerative changes of the tissue
Chronic stage involves maturation, remodeling, and tissue formation of the affected area.

Since the patient exhibits the cardinal signs of inflammation like swelling, pain, and heat, the inflammation is said to be in the acute stage. These changes happen due to vascular changes along with exudation of cells with cellular material.
