{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>This review covers common orthopedic injuries seen after acute traumatic injury. A thorough physical examination and radiographic review of these injuries are key to ensuring appropriate management. Although many injuries may require urgent or emergent orthopedic consultation and management, this review focuses on injuries that are low-risk and amenable to splinting with outpatient orthopedic follow-up. This review covers key physical examination features, radiographic findings that help providers assess injuries, as well as reviewing splinting application to help facilitate rapid management of these injuries in the acute care setting.
