The app focuses on providing an overview of the management and follow-up protocols of fractures once they have been radiologically diagnosed, while also providing an overview of interim management strategies and potential complications following site-specific trauma. The interface allows the user to navigate by selecting the relevant body area, then selecting a diagnosis, based on the AO/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) classification of fractures 1 with a pictorial depiction of the fracture pattern. The app allows the user to select for non-operative or operative management, also providing information about indications for each. The app allows for selection of a non-operative or operative management plan, the latter being subdivided into the particular types of fracture fixation (external fixation, plate, intramedullary nail, closed reduction internal fixation, etc). Once a management plan has been selected, the app describes correct patient positioning, aides to reduction and other information regarding use of intraoperative imaging. The section ‘Reduction and Fixation’provides extensive information regarding basic anatomy and biomechanical principles for a given fracture type. It outlines fracture reduction techniques, as well as information regarding cast application, padding, sling use and postreduction management. This is via easy to follow pictorial guides as well as videos embedded into the app. The ‘Aftercare’section provides practical information regarding activities of daily living (eg, sleeping, hygiene), rehabilitation, wound care, patient follow-up and weight-bearing recommendations. The ‘Appendix’section provides further reading through literature summaries (with a referenced bibliography) and up-to-date protocols on various topics including thromboembolic prophylaxis, open fracture management and management of complications such as compartment syndrome or infection. These entries provide a succinct overview of relevant issues related to orthopaedic trauma.
