Revisión del 15:47 22 mar 2016 de Ostermayer (discusión | contribs.) (Text replacement - "Category:Ortho" to "Category:Orthopedics")
Background
- Doesn’t completely eliminate supination / pronation
- either add an anterior splint or use a double sugar-tong if complex or unstable distal forearm fx
Indications
- Elbow and forearm injuries
- Distal humerus fracture
- Both-bone forearm fracture
- Unstable proximal radius or ulna fracture (sugar-tong better)
