Sources of information A MEDLINE literature review was performed and the results were summarized, reviewing anatomy and mechanisms, clinical and imaging-based diagnoses, and management principles in the primary care setting. Main message Low-velocity LFIs result from various mechanisms and can have very subtle findings on clinical examination and imaging. A high degree of suspicion and caution are warranted when managing this type of injury. Conclusion Although potentially devastating if missed, if a few treatment principles for low-velocity LFIs are applied from the initial presentation onward, outcomes from this injury can be optimized.}, issn = {0008-350X}, URL = {https://www.cfp.ca/content/58/11/1199}, eprint = {https://www.cfp.ca/content/58/11/1199.full.pdf}, journal = {Canadian Family Physician} }
