Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer | Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgery

The Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer is an ideal training tool for learners looking to gain confidence in the reduction of Colles’ fractures occurring at the distal end of the radius.

The portrayal of a fractured distal fragment of the radius provides trainees with a platform for repeatable and consistent practice of manual Colles’ reduction (closed) and plastering techniques. As is typical in a real-life emergency setting, the model allows trainees to perform visual inspections and identification before facilitating a team focused Colles’ fracture reduction.

An adjustable tension mechanism allows trainers to alter the difficulty of the procedure for advanced learning.

Primary Care Physicians

American Academy of Family Physicians. In the absence of significant displacement, comminution, or intra-articular involvement, many forearm fractures can be managed by a primary care physician. Initial management of forearm fractures should follow the PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation) protocol, except forcompression, which should be avoided in the acute setting. Distal radius fractures with minimal displacement can be treated with a short arm cast

Emergency Medicine

Orthopedic Injuries, Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine. Reduction of the fracture or dislocation–for closed fractures or dislocations, reduction takes precedence when there is any limb ischemia or lack of pulses and emergent reduction is required. It is important to reduce a fracture or dislocation to restore anatomic appearance, alleviate pain, and relieve tension on the tissues.This most often requires appropriate sedation and monitoring of the patient and can be done at the bedside in the ED with procedural sedation.After a reduction has been performed, obtain a post-reduction imaging to ensure successful alignment.
