Education of the Week comes courtesy of Ortho EM Pearls:

You have a 25 year-old male who presents to the ED with left hand pain that started after batting practice. Exam reveals tenderness over the hypothenar eminence. You think to yourself that this is an easy x-ray, splint, and Orthopedics follow up case. 

You get the x-ray done and remember that it's a race to get the Sunrise Wet Read in before discharge. Something doesn't look right, and you call the radiologist who mentions that there is a fracture, and you can get a Carpal Tunnel view to see it better. Your patient asks you if they are going to need surgery and what the best splint is for his injury. If you want more expertise on this case, please see the attached PDF.

I do not get paid by them, but if you like cases like this and want weekly cases e-mailed to you, you can sign up for these Ortho pearls with the link below.
