Open fractures and rattlesnake envenomations are two emergencies that each require emergent intervention and treatment. While each is common, when they occur simultaneously on the same extremity, it creates a syndrome that is quintessential Central Texas. We present the case of a 13-year-old boy who sustained a lower-extremity rattlesnake envenomation with concomitant open tibia and fibula fractures after being thrown from an all-terrain vehicle. The envenomation from the snake bite compelled us to first treat his developing coagulopathy with a delayed operative management of his fractures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
