Fracture Management for Primary Care and Emergency Medicine

Description:

Evaluate and treat common fractures and know when to refer uncommon ones to a specialist. This quick, practical resource presents detailed illustrations, video, and current best evidence for imaging and treating fractures so you can make accurate identifications and manage patients with confidence.

• Quickly find the information you need through a systematic, logical approach to each fracture.
• Accurately identify fractures through an extensive selection of imaging examples.
• Apply splints and reduce dislocations successfully thanks to detailed descriptions, illustrations, and narrated video.
• Tap into the latest best practices through evidence-based coverage and updated references.
• Effectively manage emergency situations using guidelines for emergent referral, greater detail regarding methods for closed reductions for fractures and dislocations, and more.
• Benefit from expanded content specifically for the emergency medicine setting, including CT, MRI, and ultrasound imaging, procedural sedation, and discharge reassessment.
