Ortho is consulted for many things. Here I would like to go over a few topics.
First, for most ortho consults we need an x-ray. For a fracture or dislocation it is imperative. Even without trauma a bone can break if it had an un-diagnosed tumor. Even when the xray is normal, the information is important.
I will discuss compartment syndrome, cellulitis, dog bites, and more. I also cover some classic knee jerk reactions in post-operative patients such as when to and when not to pan-culture and order CT's and US.
