Orthopedic emergencies are critical situations that necessitate immediate attention due to their potential life-threatening or limb-threatening consequences. Whether it’s a pelvic fracture from a high-velocity accident, a dislocated joint following a sports injury, or compartment syndrome complicating a limb injury, every moment counts in these scenarios. Recognizing the urgency of orthopedic emergencies requires a keen understanding of the key clinical indicators such as pain, deformity, and neurovascular compromise. You will be prepared to make a rapid assessment aided by imaging modalities that will enable you to make the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment decisions.
