EP061 - The Girl with the Fractured Elbow

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills.

This episode outlines a simulated medical scenario involving an 11-year-old girl named Emily who sustained an elbow injury. It is designed to assess a candidate's ability to interpret X-rays and advise on the diagnosis and treatment of a supracondylar humeral fracture. The case provides details about Emily's condition, the X-ray findings, and a series of tasks and expected responses for the candidate, emphasising the importance of recognising potential complications and ensuring proper follow-up care for a full recovery.
