Heres a real scenario I have been faced with x2 in the last 6/52.
Child (<10) with # femur and # Tib & Fib on the same side
Thomas splinting obviously the thing to do...but cant as the lower leg will
come off in your traction (alright exageration).... what do you do?
What about in adults...as I've struggled with that conundrum too...
and does it make any difference to your care if the # is open?
All thoughts gladly considered
Cheers
