Gold Coast University Hospital Emergency Department Registrar, Dr Richard Pellatt, shares the research outcomes from a trial comparing Buddy Taping with Plaster to treat the common hand fracture: Boxer’s Fractures. Dr Pellatt was awarded an Emergency Medicine Foundation Trainee Grant in 2016 to lead this study. Collaborating with the Hospital’s orthopaedic surgeons, Dr Pellatt and his team recruited 98 patients in the trial and found buddy taping was just as effective at treating boxer's fractures as plastering. During the trial, they also found patients could return to work soon and needed fewer follow-up visits with an orthopaedic surgeon. With the trial completed and a paper published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the outcomes look set to change emergency department practice. This presentation was given at the 2019 Emergency Medicine Foundation Grants Award Ceremony in Brisbane, Australia.
