Abstract

Management of fractures in patients with multiple traumatic injuries occurs within the context of the American College of Surgeon's Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) algorithm (1). The physician who initially evaluates the patient seeks to identify lifethreatening conditions and begins prompt resuscitation. Research has demonstrated a hierarchy of potentially lethal conditions beginning with airway problems and extending to life-threatening thoracic conditions, hypovolemia, and intracranial injuries. Definitive fracture management is considered after addressing these life-threatening conditions.
