THE HENNEPIN MANEUVER
Instructions on how to reduce a dislocated shoulder via the Hennepin maneuver, a common method involving distraction of the humerus with external rotation.
THE SNOWBIRD TECHNIQUE
A modification of the Hennepin maneuver that uses the examiner’s quadriceps instead of the biceps, providing more strength for downward traction.
THE CUNNINGHAM METHOD
Instructions on how to reduce a dislocated shoulder via the Cunningham method, involving relaxing the spasmed muscles surrounding the dislocation.
THE PRAKASH METHOD
Instructions on how to reduce a dislocated shoulder via the Prakash method, involving holding the shoulder in external rotation, adduction, and internal rotation.
DISTAL RADIUS REDUCTION, PT 2
Part 2 of a set of guidelines on distal radius fracture reduction, covering the “handshake method,” in which the wrist is distracted, pronated, and ulnarly deviated.
X-RAY GUIDELINES, PART THREE
Part 3 of a set of guidelines about how x-rays are ordered for each injured body part, what views, and why. Covers tibial plateau and spine fractures, and Segond fractures.
THE SPASO TECHNIQUE
Instructions on how to reduce a dislocated shoulder via the Spaso technique, which involves applying upward traction and external rotation on a supine patient.
X-RAY GUIDELINES, PART ONE
Part 1 of a set of guidelines about how x-rays are ordered for each injured body part, what views, and why. Covers shoulders, clavicles, and elbows.
CONCUSSION CARE
Evidence-based information for managing patients with closed head injuries, including a patient handout. Written by Jon Jackson MD, Sports Medicine physician.
DISTAL RADIUS REDUCTION, PT 1
