Managing common wrist injuries and conditions in general pra
About
Wrist pain and injury are among the most frequent presentations in general practice and emergency settings. But how do you distinguish cases that can be safely managed in primary care from those requiring urgent referral to a specialist?Join Dr Sarah Coll as she guides GPs, allied health practitioners, and curious patients through the principles of assessment, early management, red flags, and referral guidelines for common wrist pathologies. In this interactive session you’ll learn:
• How to take a focused history and perform key clinical tests for wrist injury
• When to order imaging (and which views are most useful)
• First-line conservative strategies: splinting, analgesia, early rehab
• Recognising the “danger signs” (e.g. scaphoid fractures, ligament tears, distal radius fractures)
• Practical decision pathways: when to observe, when to refer
• Post-referral expectations and what GPs need to know in follow-up care
