Description

This transcript provides an overview of a virtual trauma meeting led by Sally Rankin, involving discussions about an orthopedic case concerning a 10-year-old girl who sustained an injury to her left arm while playing on a slide. The session features case presentation by Kathryn Ecott, detailing the girl's history, physical examination, and initial assessment, including neurovascular checks and radiology interpretation.
