33. SECONDARY SURVEY: HISTORY
Age, profession , handedness.
Mechanism of injury
Time of injury
Complaint : pain , swelling , deformity, abnormal mobility,
loss of function.
Other injuries ; chest abdomen head …
Previous injuries , Previous status of the injured limb.
General medical history
37. IMAGING
X- ray : rule of two
Two views
Two joints: to avoid missing other associated
injuries and to judge regarding displacement
Two limbs : for comparison
Two occasions: repeat the x-ray if not sure
Two physicians: incase of suspicion
