    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.

    ROFL! Kelly, you've been out of the water for too long already.

    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 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
    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.

    Wow has this has thread drifted away from Alachua. Russell, please enact Godwin's Law and say something about Nazis to get us back on track.

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

    This is true,but a lesser known fact was Dr Mengele was plagued with macrodactyly of the fingers,and none of his test subjects survived the experimentation,hence his nickname.

    Funny, I have long suffered from microdactyly of certain areas that makes the use of my pee valve problematic.

    ps - Hey, you are the one that asked for Nazi's. I was just hoping for some better steps at Alachua.

    This discussion just got real.

    Should we move this to the accident analysis section?
