Abstract:
Laryngeal fracture is a rare but potentially lethal injury. A high degree of suspicion along with an expeditious investigation is warranted to prevent airway complications. The initial assessment of the airway is vital as the patient can suffer a severe anoxic brain injury. If the patient is stable, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck should be obtained; this was done urgently for our patient and was managed without any extraneous intervention. We report a case of a 38-year-old man that presented to the emergency room with anterior neck pain after falling onto the back of a paintball gun. The patient was managed conservatively and favorable outcomes were obtained.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
