Open fracture washout?
Distal rad fx very displaced with a skin tear overlying. There seems to be a very small communication with the bone. Reduced, started ancef, ortho says splint and discharge. No role for official washout.
I know what we read in textbooks and practice for tests is different than real world medicine in the community. Just getting a sense of crowd opinion here, what would you do?
UPDATE:
Lots of varied answers here, half say no problem, and half say would force orthopedics to come in. Interesting
