Spinal XR interpretation – RCEM learning
Incision & Drainage – do I need to Rx antibiotics as well?
Unicondylar finger fractures
Nice rundown of these from @JuncturaTheorum “Random Handom”on twitter
“These little dudes right here are called UNICONDYLAR fxs
Don’t let their cuteness and nondisplaced-ness fool you
They are unstable, and displace late
Typically require operative stabilization”
Don’t underestimate them!
UCL injuries
Remember to check and document the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and radial collateral ligament (RCL) stability at the thumb MCP joint. Check them with the thumb fully extended or you may get a false positive finding. Compare with the other thumb as well!
I x-ray these as it can help with diagnosis. If abnormal movement/laxity discuss with Plastics/Ortho as there is a 2-3 week window for surgical repair (Stener repair)
If you want to learn what a Stener lesion is have a look at this YT video – Stener Lesion
CICO
Paediatric Elbow XRays
Hospital phone directory
"INDUCTION"
A pretty useful app with all the hospital internal phone numbers and bleeps built in for your specific Hospital – Antrim and Causeway included. It's free too
for all you sheep out there I think it is available for apple devices as well
