Orthopaedic Handover and Clinical Decision Tools
This card features a checklist of information required for a succinct hanover of a patient to an orthopaedic surgeon/registrar following a fracture. It also features the Ottawa Ankle Rules, a clinical decision making tool for the rational ordering of ankle plain films, and radiographic criteria for the closed reduction of a distal radius fracture.
Please review your institutional guidelines regarding the above information before relying on this card as a clinical resource.
Remember, a holistic orthopaedic surgeon is one that looks at the whole bone, not just the fracture!
