SplintER: A New on Orthopedic Injuries and Splinting

The purpose of the SplintER series is to teach the fundamentals and introduce advanced concepts of splinting to the Emergency Medicine (EM) professional. Humans have been splinting their injuries since 1300 B.C.¹ Although the fundamentals have not changed, splint selection and application require some thoughtful consideration.
