In summary, the emergency department or office-based physician should distinguish first between inflammation and injury. A clinical diagnosis of fracture should be made before obtaining and reading films. Comparison views help to resolve doubt. A neurologic examination should be documented before undertaking reduction. Finally, if in doubt, a splint for 24 to 48 hours until an orthopedic opinion is available causes no harm.
