“…One study evaluated the evidence behind 15 potentially low-value practices, identified by 36 experts. 31 Evidence was evaluated using a checklist for quality, and outcomes included complications and change in management. Several trauma practices for which evidence was lacking were identified, such as routine initial imaging of ankle injuries, an orthosis for an A0-A3 thoracolumbar burst fracture in patients <60 years of age, casting or splinting for a fifth metacarpal neck fracture and for an MRI-negative scaphoid fracture, and routine follow-up imaging for distal radial and ankle fractures.…”
