Abstract:
Sprains, strains and minor fractures involving the upper and lower limbs are relatively common injuries presenting to primary care physicians and emergency departments. A significant number of these injuries are managed conservatively with appropriate splinting and gradual staged mobilisation therapy. Proficiency in the acute management of these injuries ensures pain relief, optimal siting of care, optimal healing and best patient outcomes.
