M
usculoskeletal trauma encompasses a wide range of pathologies that make up a significant proportion of the emergency
department’s workload.These ranges fromminor soft tissue injuries in theminor injuries unit to poly-trauma in the resuscitation
bays and a significant amount of resources are utilized in dealing with these injuries effectively. How these injuries are managed
immediately will significantly affect the patient’s outcome. It is important that our practice remains evidence-based to ensure these
injuries are managed optimally and do not lead to complications in management or unwanted legal repercussions. In this session we
will look at musculoskeletal trauma presenting to the emergency department and discuss its management in the light of the most
recent evidence. We will consider a range of injuries from minor soft tissue injuries to poly-trauma and periprosthetic injuries.
