AB  - Extremity  fractures  are  common  injuries  and  often  necessitate  an  Emergency  Department  (ED)  visit.  Most  closed  fractures  can  be  managed  conservatively  in  the  ED  with  splinting  and  follow-up  if  there  is  no  neurologic  or  vascular  compromise.  This  chapter  addresses  four  common  fracture  patterns  of  the  upper  extremity  that  may  require  reduction  by  the  Emergency  Physician  (EP).  These  include  clavicular  fractures,  dorsally  angulated  distal  radius  or  Colles  fractures,  displaced  surgical  neck  fractures  of  the  humerus,  and  supracondylar  fractures  of  the  humerus.  The  reduction  of  fractures  in  the  ED  should  involve  consultation  with  an  Orthopedic  Surgeon  prior  to  performing  the  procedure.  The  only  exception  to  this  is  the  existence  of  neurologic  or  vascular  compromise  and  the  Orthopedic  Surgeon  is  not  immediately  available.
