Ortho Traumapedia is organized into chapters by bone and joint. Each chapter is divided into four sections: Facts, Imaging, Classification and Treatment:
• Facts begins with epidemiology and common injury mechanisms. This is followed by an outline of pertinent anatomy, eponyms and variants. Finally, patient presentation, examination and management tips are presented.
• Imaging begins with the standard radiographic examinations for each anatomic region. This is followed by injury-specific views, relevant metrics and findings as well as supplemental modalities.
• Classification outlines the most common classification systems used to describe the selected injury.
• Treatment begins with general treatment principles and treatment in the acute setting. This is followed by injury-specific standard of care options grouped by fracture or dislocation pattern. The most common complications associated with the injury are included at the end of this section
