cheerleader is complaining of pain over the right anatomic snuffbox. You determine that the cheerleader fell on an outstretched hand while performing a back flip at practice the previous day. Observation reveals minor swelling but no discoloration or deformity. Palpation reveals sharp pain in the anatomic snuffbox. What injury should you suspect? Explain what steps you would take in managing and treating her injury?
