DOI: 10.1097/pec.0000000000001822
Abstract: Background Extension-type supracondylar fractures can be treated with external immobilization, with the elbow flexed 100°. However, this technique requires early evaluation by true lateral x-ray of the elbow to detect secondary fracture displacement. Questions/Purpose The… read more here.

Abstract: Intra-articular Tillaux and triplane ankle fractures are treated surgically when displaced. Minimally displaced fractures are treated with immobilization alone. Long leg casts (LLCs) are the most traditional method of immobilization because they can prevent weight… read more here.
