Common Fractures

April 22nd, 2011 - April 22nd, 2014
1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

Description

Each year in the United States, 6.8 million of us develop a broken bone. In fact, the average citizen in a developed country can expect to sustain an average of 2 fractures over their lifetime. The most common location for a fracture is the wrist in persons under age 75 and the hip in persons over age 75. The older we get, the more likely osteoporosis is to play a role in the pathogenesis of fractures and so about 30% of all fractures in men and 66% of all fractures in women are related to osteoporosis. Today on the MedNet wrebcast, we’re going to update you on the evaluation and management of the most common fractures that you’re likely to encounter in clinical practice. To do it, we’re going to look at each of these fractures first from the perspective of the emergency room physician and then from the perspective of the orthopedic surgeon. By the end of the hour, you should be able to diagnose these fractures, be familiar with the common complications of these fractures and be able to stabilize them and get them into the right hands for definitive management.
