Abstract:
Musculoskeletal trauma encompasses a wide range of pathologies that make up a significant proportion of the Emergency Department’s workload. These range from minor soft tissue injuries in the Minor Injuries Unit to polytrauma in the Resuscitation Bays, and a significant amount of resources are utilized in dealing with these injuries effectively. How these injuries are managed immediately will significantly affect the patient’s outcome. It is important that our practice remains evidence-based to ensure these injuries are managed optimally and do not lead to complications in management or unwanted legal repercussions. In this session we will look at musculoskeletal trauma presenting to the emergency department and discuss its management in the light of the most recent evidence. We will consider a range of injuries from minor soft tissue injuries to polytrauma and periprosthetic injuries.
