TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 90. Common Fracture Reduction A1 - Reichman, Eric F. PY - 2013 T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Extremity fractures are a common reason for Emergency Department (ED) visits. If there is no neurologic or vascular compromise, most closed fractures can be managed conservatively in the ED with splinting and Orthopedic Surgeon follow-up. This chapter addresses four common fractures of the upper extremity that may require reduction by the Emergency Physician (EP). These include clavicular fractures, 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 if neurologic or vascular compromise exists in the extremity.
