A rapid reference guide to the approach and management of orthopaedic emergencies, this book provides quick differential diagnosis and treatment guidance for the emergency physician and orthopaedic resident and trainee. Chapters detail the initial management of musculoskeletal injuries, including reduction, splinting, and casting techniques for specific fractures and soft tissue injuries. A stepwise, how-to approach ensures easy learning, and an abundance of images provide clarity in instruction. This book also helps the reader identify those patients who can be appropriately treated as outpatients and patients who require urgent and emergent orthopaedic consultation.
“This offering is among the best in its efficiency, ease of use, and completeness. I think it would be a great gift for most orthopedic and emergency room programs to give to their first year residents as they get started on the floors or in the ER. It also can serve as a great quick reference for primary care sports physicians who would appreciate an extra boost of confidence when treating patients with musculoskeletal injuries.” — Mark R. Hutchinson, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine
