Isolated femur fractures and pubic rami fractures

[Lori Boyett]

We have four levels of activation.  The injuries listed below fall into
our 3rd level but have to be associated with a significant MOI (ie.
high-speed MVC, Fall >15ft.,Autoped, Assault/Child abuse, MCC/ATV/Large
animal).  The patients in this level are put into a "Fast Track" to
expedite their workup and the trauma surgeon has 30 minutes from
notification to see the patient.  Thanks, Lori
