  • Not anymore. Both I’ve done were on people who were trapped in a way where we couldn’t move the leg that was already catastrophically injured. You’re on the radio with the receiving physician and in my case we had a very loose scope of practice and special training in field surgery. If the other injuries are serious enough to warrant immediate transport and/or you have very limited resources, it’s a procedure I’d put on the same level as like a cricothyrotomy or IO. You can do it in theory but only do it under explicit direction in practice.
