How to Manage Orthopaedic Emergencies
(incl. tax)
In this presentation, Sandra will discuss the practical management of orthopaedic conditions that can be considered 'emergencies' - those in which the prognosis becomes much worse without rapid diagnosis and treatment. These include fractures that are open, associated with potential nerve injury or the growth plates of young animals, along with shearing injuries and septic joints. The principles of good wound management and the use of negative pressure therapy will be explored, along with decision-making around the optimal time for interventions, surgical or otherwise.
