A 49-year-old male is brought to the emergency department via emergency medical services (EMS) after a motorcycle accident. He complains of severe pain in his lower right leg. The extremity has already been splinted by EMS prior to arrival. On examination, there is obvious deformity and swelling at the midshaft of the right tibia. The skin is intact but tight and shiny. Dorsalis pedis pulse is not palpable on the affected side, and the foot appears pale and cool to the touch. What is the most appropriate next step in management?
