I need some updated opinions on acute vs. aftercare.
Pt was seen in ER aftering falling and after xray he had non-displaced fracture of the elbow. ER doc placed splint and referred him to ortho. Ortho rev'd xrays and removed splint and placed a different splint on pt. At his point does it become a/c for the ortho or would it still be acute and can the ortho code fx treatment w/o manipulation or just the application?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
