Beskrivelse
Based on instructional course material utilized by the University of Rochester's Division of Orthopedic Trauma, this concise manual provides a common-sense overview of common orthopedic emergencies that providers with minimal orthopedic training - medical students, non-orthopedic physicians, NPs and PAs - will need to evaluate and treat these cases. Often, a simple understanding of the injury and the priorities of management will allow the treating practitioner to provide appropriate immediate care with huge clinical benefit to the patient.
More than a dozen orthopedic emergency situations are presented in an easily accessible format, from open fractures and joint dislocations to septic joint and compartment syndrome. Clinical cases are highlighted at the beginning of each chapter, which also include relevant questions related to the specific case and full color images.
An ideal resource for medical students, non-orthopedic physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants, Orthopedics in the Emergency Room is a practical guide to managing these intense situations.
