Extremity Trauma: Nonaxial Skeleton Fractures, Sprains, Dislocations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Orthopedic extremity injuries may require emergent orthopedic consultation, but are typically managed by the acute care provider. Initial management for all fractures should focus on providing immediate analgesia and ensuring adequate blood flow distal to the fracture. This review summarizes the assessment and stabilization, diagnosis, treatment and disposition, and outcomes for fractures, dislocations, and sprains. Figures include illustrations of fracture types, carpal bones and their articlulation in the wrist, bones of the hand, the anatomy of the hip demonstrating the areas where hip fractures occur, the Weber classification, the Bohler angle, and fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal; a bedside sonogram of a fracture of the distal radius; and 10 radiographs showing various fractures and dislocations. Tables list the Gustilo classification of open fractures; common terms used to accurately describe fractures; components of the Ottawa Knee Rules and the Ottawa Ankle/Foot Rules; Schatzker classification system of tibial plateau fractures; common fractures of the hand and foot, respectively, with their associated treatment, splint, and recommended follow-up; normal anatomic alignments that should be assessed on radiographic evaluation of a possible Lisfranc injury; common splints and the associated fractures they are used to treat; AC joint injuries graded according to the severity of injury to the joint structures; and the four stages of worsening lunate instablity. This review contains 18 highly rendered figures, 11 tables, and 98 references.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
