Colles’ Fracture Reduction Trainer

• Adjustable tension allows for progressive levels of difficulty
• Trainees can perform all three stages of reduction: Exaggeration (to dis-impact the fracture), Traction and Flexion
• Accommodates various plastering techniques, including back slab, circular cast, sugar-tong splint, and 3-point moulds
• Stand allows the Colles’ Fracture arm to be placed at a variety of heights for different patient scenarios

• Fractured distal fragment of radius, and head & body of the ulna bone for visual and palpable identification
• Realistic representation of a distal angulation (dinner-fork) deformity
• Life-like haptic feedback when conducting the procedure

• Adjustable tension makes this trainer a perfect tool for OSCE courses
• The stand allows the Colles’ Fracture arm to be placed at a variety of heights for different patient scenarios   

• Fractured distal fragment of radius
• Head and body of the ulna

• This product can be used with a simulated patient

• Clean skin surface with soft, damp cloth and mild detergent

• This product is latex free

Demonstrates knowledge of associated hand injury patterns (e.g., median nerve injury and/orscapholunate ligament (SL) injury with distal radius fractures); Performs simple closed reduction and splinting of pediatric and adult fractures/dislocations

American Academy of Family Physicians. In the absence of significant displacement, comminution, or intra-articular involvement, many forearm fractures can be managed by a primary care physician. Initial management of forearm fractures should follow the PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation) protocol, except forcompression, which should be avoided in the acute setting. Distal radius fractures with minimal displacement can be treated with a short arm cast

Orthopedic Injuries, Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine. Reduction of the fracture or dislocation–for closed fractures or dislocations, reduction takes precedence when there is any limb ischemia or lack of pulses and emergent reduction is required. It is important to reduce a fracture or dislocation to restore anatomic appearance, alleviate pain, and relieve tension on the tissues.This most often requires appropriate sedation and monitoring of the patient and can be done at the bedside in the ED with procedural sedation.After a reduction has been performed, obtain a post-reduction imaging to ensure successful alignment.
