Learning objectives
-
By the end of the session, participants will be able to accurately identify and describe different types of fractures visible on X-rays, including simple, compound, comminuted, and pathologic fractures.
-
Participants will gain an understanding of the radiological features that are essential for diagnosing fractures, such as areas of cortical disruption or periosteal reaction.
-
Attendees will improve their competency in interpreting fracture X-rays by understanding the significance of associated findings such as soft tissue swelling, fat pad sign, and joint effusion.
-
Participants will develop their skills of systematic evaluation of fracture X-rays, including assessment of alignment, bone quality, cartilage spaces, associated soft tissues, and search for additional injuries.
-
By the end of the session, participants will be familiar with the process of reporting a fracture on an X-ray, including describing the location, configuration, and extent of the fracture, as well as any associated complications.
