Goals and Objectives :
We use our hands at work and play. Our hands bring us enjoyment but are frequently injured. Timely recognition and treatment of common hand and upper extremity injuries and emergencies help return our patients to full productivity. This course will enable the learner to confidently diagnose and treat minor hand emergencies, adequately stabilize and triage more complex emergencies, and recognize the very serious, though sometimes misdiagnosed, urgent emergencies that require immediate recognition and referral. At the conclusion of this activity, the learner should be able to:
• Recognize and diagnose treatment patterns;
• Treat, stabilize, and triage more common emergencies;
• Understand major limb-threatening emergencies that may initially seem trivial.
