This page is a copy of the bone shop page. Click on the ankle link to take you to the next page.

The site is designed to be self explanatory and easy to read in the clinic.
It uses pictures for clarity and speed and hence avoids the technical jargon where possible.
The information is designed around a 10 to 15 minute consult.
Each topic is arranged in a 10 minute recipe (bone shop button) and the detail is available in the other links.
If you wish to contribute ideas, information, tips or gripes use the contribute link.
The more people who contribute the better this will be so take the time to help your peers.
The videos are embedded in the site and have been kept as small as possible, however they still eat your data so use them sparingly.
This is the reference you want to be able to use real time in the clinic, hence the format is optimised for use on a smart phone and things look a bit sparse on tablets and desktops.
We recommend looking at the general principles and documentation, then adapting them as policies for your clinic, ideally in consultation with the orthopaedist you refer to.
The patient information is included in the 10 minute consult. You can print from these pages if you have a printer connected.

The Bone Shop started as a local reference for running fracture clinics in our urgent care facility.
Our problems were the variation in our provider knowledge base and this was compounded by a significant variation in approach between the consulting specialists and also within the orthopaedic references.
This did not help our non specialist providers and consequently there was a need to 'standardise' the approach for our team.
What we needed was a quick and pragmatic reference that allowed the non specialist provider to safely and efficiently manage non operative fracture and soft tissue injury cases.
