AB Musculoskeletal  trauma  is  frequently  encountered  in  the  prehospital  setting.  In  2007,  extremity  injuries  accounted  for  over  14  million  emergency  department  visits  within  the  United  States.1  Injuries  from  falls,  motor  vehicle  accidents,  sports  activities,  and  pedestrian  versus  vehicle  accidents  are  commonly  encountered.  It  is  imperative  that  EMS  physicians  know  how  to  appropriately  stabilize  and  manage  these  injuries  as  many  result  in  limb  or  life-threatening  conditions.
