In this case report, we describe the performance of procedural sedation and emergent joint reduction via remote telehealth leadership for a patient with an acutely limb-threatening injury. The patient was a 33-year-old man who presented to a small rural hospital with a fracture dislocation of his ankle complicated by severe pain refractory to opiate analgesia and neurovascular compromise, including absent peripheral pulses and sensory changes. Due to aviation and resource limitation factors, immediate retrieval was not possible.

Background: Chronic neuropathic pain is a major health problem that adversely affects people's physical and mental well-being, as well as their quality of life. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) may offer a minimally invasive option earlier in the treatment continuum for adults with chronic neuropathic pain that is refractory to conventional medical management. We conducted a health technology assessment of PNS for adults with chronic neuropathic pain, which included an evaluation of effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, the budget impact of publicly funding PNS, and patient preferences and values.

Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a chronic segmental pancreatitis which leads to altered pancreatic secretions and pancreatitis. The exact pathogenesis of GP has not been clearly identified to date but heavy smoking and chronic alcohol consumption seem to be the main factors involved. The resulting chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a debilitating disease causing abdominal pain often refractory to medical therapy, so much that the main indication for surgical treatment is intractable abdominal pain.
