Clavicle Fracture 02 - Minimally Invasive Technique

Precise reduction of midshaft clavicle fractures with shortening and overriding still presents a significant technical challenge. This training presents a minimally invasive approach with an anatomical plate, demonstrated in high definition from a surgical perspective, allowing mastery of the technique from radiographic planning to definitive fixation.

Training Focus:

• Radiographic planning (Zanca and superior views) and anatomical marking;
• Strategic creation of lateral and medial portals;
• Controlled dissection and creation of the tunnel for plate passage;
• Fluoroscopy-guided closed reduction;
• Selection and adaptation of the anatomical plate;
• Sequential fixation with cortical and locked screws;
• Closure of muscle layers and intradermal suture.

Detailed Content:

• Precise Radiographic Planning: Protocols for identifying the fracture focus, delimiting the lateral third, and defining the ideal implant size;
• Strategic Marking of Accesses: Methods for exact portal positioning, ensuring proper plate trajectory;
• Safe Subperiosteal Tunnel Creation: Dissection techniques with a dissector and digital palpation to preserve tissues and facilitate implant passage;
• Reliable Closed Reduction: Strategies for external manipulation and fluoroscopic confirmation of alignment;
• Optimal Anatomical Plate Adaptation: Comparative testing of curvatures and adjustments for best bone contact;
• Stable and Progressive Fixation: Sequence of cortical and locked screws to prevent rotation and loss of reduction;
• Intraoperative Stability Control: Palpation methods and verification of final plate positioning;
• Functional and Aesthetic Closure: Adequate muscle coverage and intradermal suture for a better cosmetic result.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF with planning, marking, portal creation, dissection technique, implant selection, fixation sequence, and surgical closure.
