given to me as the unforgettable mnemonic “two A’s, three C’s, an E and a T” is a summary of management principles for fractures
Arrest haemorrhage
Analgesia
Cover open wounds
Correct deformity
Crush / compartment / complications (think about them)
Elevate
Tetanus / toxoid / antibiotics
Obviously most fracture management questions won’t ask you for 7 things. Pick the most relevant things to speak about and REMEMBER that Principles of Management ALWAYS includes Disposition!
