AB  - When  assessing  a  painful  extremity,  vascular  compromise  must  be  excluded  first.A  patient  who  has  fallen  on  an  outstretched  hand  and  has  tenderness  in  the  anatomical  snuffbox  of  the  wrist  and  a  negative  radiograph  should  have  a  thumb  spica  splint  placed  until  a  scaphoid  fracture  is  definitively  excluded.Avoid  nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  after  fractures.  These  medications  inhibit  bone  healing.In  the  upper  extremity,  compartment  syndrome  is  most  common  in  the  forearm,  especially  after  displaced  supracondylar  fractures  in  children.
