A review of diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers of the soft-tissue injuries and fractures will be included. For each fracture, a representative X-ray will be utilized allowing the participants to review their X-ray interpretation skills. The basic concepts of splinting will be reviewed. The participants will then work in pairs, with faculty supervision, to practice the diagnostic maneuvers and the application of splints.
