| | The Physician and Sportsmedicine: A Silicone Splint for Auricular Hematoma |
 | | The authors' preferred suture for applying the silicone splint is 3-0 nylon on a PS-1 precision-point reverse cutting needle (with the cutting edge on the outer curve of the needle) for difficult-to-penetrate tissue. | | | A curved needle may be used, but the technique is simplified if the needle is straightened using two needle holders. | | | Splint application begins with preparation and draping of the ear in a sterile fashion. |

| | The goal of splinting is immobilization to minimize pain and prevent further damage to nerves, vessels, muscle, skin, etc. (2). | | | The elbow should be flexed at approximately 90 degrees to a position of comfort, and the forearm should be medially rotated 90 degrees (such that the volar side of the forearm is toward the body) with slight dorsiflexion at the wrist. | | | Wrinkles in the splinting material may cause pressure sores and skin breakdown, especially over bony prominences. |

| | Even though the splint is removable, your doctor may want you to keep it on as much as possible. | | | You have extreme pain or increased pain that you believe is from swelling, and your cast or splint feels too tight. | | | Your health professional may want you to tense and relax the muscles protected by the cast or splint. |

| | The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Sports Medicine Practice Economics |
| | Unless the sports medicine physician is dual-credentialed in family medicine and sports medicine with individual insurance companies, the referral likely will not be reimbursed as a consultation—or at all—because a patient usually cannot be referred to a primary care practice that is not listed on the individual payer contract. | | | Sports medicine physicians who practice only in their primary care office are usually credentialed with local insurance companies as family medicine practitioners, because the need to seek dual credentials as a sports medicine physician rarely arises. | | | Sports medicine physicians are usually credentialed with insurance companies as family physicians or as sports medicine physicians/orthopedists, or are dual-certified as both family medicine and sports medicine providers. |

| | A practical splint: Newspaper spica for limb immobilization - DVM |
| | Newspaper spica Like the Trueta splint that was developed out of necessity and experience in emergency conditions, I have developed another splint, the "newspaper spica," that is very practical, effective and easy to apply. | | | Experience has taught me that its application may be an effective means of fracture management similar to the Trueta splint, when "battlefield" conditions exist; when internal fixation or application of an external fixator is not possible. | | | In some cases, the external coaptation provided by the "temporary" application of the splinting device may, through financial necessity, be the primary means of treating certain fractures. |

| | Splinting is the technique to secure the part of the body that is injured to decrease further damage or injury to that part of the body, and to make the individual more comfortable until treatment can be initiated. | | | It is important to assess color of the skin farthest from the injured area, as well as feeling farthest from the injured area. | | | Many outdoorsmen have been very creative in the past. |

| | In another study involving 87 patients immobilized in a splint for 3 weeks following a buckle fracture of the wrist, a comparison was made between one group who removed the splint at home and another group who had their splint removed under physician supervision in a clinic. | | | Although the outcome is obviously unknown for these patients, we would suggest it is unlikely they had significant pain or functional limitation or they would have returned for follow-up. | | | Interestingly, a common theme in these studies and in our cohort is that a fair number of patients are lost to follow-up before there is any record of cast or splint removal. |
