Missed MIs may result in a lot of malpractice claims, but missed fractures/dislocations are actually a more common cause of a suit. This lecture will highlight high-risk injuries and how to avoid missing them.

Learning Objectives:

  • describe high-risk injuries that include high-pressure injuries, fight bites, and compartment syndrome.
  • Describe a systematic approach to high-risk injuries to improve patient outcomes and minimize risks.
  • Describe risk factors for development of acute compartment syndrome, and a systematic approach to improve patient outcomes.
