Description
Rachel will discuss first line management of orthopaedic emergencies- those things which don’t happen often but we worry about how to handle them if they do! This will include; limb fractures- identification, decision making and immobilisation; pelvic fractures; wounds over synovial structures; solar penetrations. We will also discuss other, less urgent differentials and those times when a diagnosis is elusive. Handling euthanasia and the BEVA guidelines for euthanasia on welfare grounds will be included
