Single provider reduction and splinting of displaced ankle fractures: a modification of Quigley's classic technique.

Ankle fractures are commonly treated by orthopaedic surgeons and often require manipulative reduction. This can be painful for the patient and frequently uses 2 or more providers. Intra-articular injection of local anesthetic into the ankle joint precludes the need for conscious sedation (intravenous narcotics and benzodiazepines, propofol, or ketamine). By combining an ankle block with a modification of the classic ankle fracture reduction technique described by Quigley 1959, a single provider can effectively perform a manipulative reduction and splinting of an ankle fracture without conscious sedation.
