I am guessing that reduction of the coccyx may have to be accomplished with digital placement in the rectum. If you look hard there is probably a PADI specialty for fixing the coccyx with manual manipulation in orifices related to a diving incident.

You are right,but in my spare time I have been catching up on my continuing education (seriously,I have to do 30 hours).
In the spirit of in water recompression,and a buddy in need,do we provide immediate assistance? I vote for a call to 911 and a bottle of tequila.Quote:
In cases where displacement or fracture exists, and whether the former or the latter, is probably more dependent upon the anatomical age of the coccyx, than upon the type of trauma received, the findings of deformity, preternatural mobility, and possibly crepitus will be present. Immediate reduction is ordinarily easy and is best carried out by grasping the coccyx between the fore finger inserted in the rectum and the thumb over the posterior surface

Wasn't the original coccyx realignment experiments done by Dr. Mengele?
