Segmental Humerus Fracture Associated with Glenoid and Coracoid Process Fractures

Master the treatment of complex shoulder injuries. This training offers a technical immersion in the approach to segmental humeral fractures associated with glenoid and coracoid process fractures, through a unique deltopectoral access.

Training Focus:

• Surgical management of segmental humeral fracture.
• Fixation of anterior glenoid rim fracture.
• Stabilization of coracoid process fracture.
• Use of unique deltopectoral access for multiple injuries.
• Osteosynthesis with intramedullary rod and cerclage in the humerus.
• Fixation with screws in the glenoid and coracoid.

Detailed Content:

• Optimized Deltopectoral Access: Methodology for identifying the cephalic vein and deltopectoral dissection, allowing simultaneous approach to complex shoulder injuries with muscle preservation and reduced morbidity.
• Segmental Reconstruction of the Humerus: Systematic approach for identifying the fracture vertices, reducing the proximal segment, and fixation with an intramedullary rod and proximal screws, complemented by cerclage for stability and anatomical restoration.
• Precise Glenoid Fixation: Incision and separation technique of the subscapularis from the joint capsule for exposure and reduction of the glenoid fragment, with insertion of guide wires and screws to ensure joint congruence and stability.
• Coracoid Stabilization: Demonstration of the fixation of the coracoid process, attached to the conjoint tendon, with a compression screw.
• Anatomical Closure and Prevention of Complications: Suturing protocols for the capsule and subscapularis, and closure of the deltopectoral access to minimize postoperative bleeding and hematoma, optimizing functional outcomes.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF: The PDF complements the video training, addressing the practical description of the procedure for segmental fracture of the humerus, glenoid, and coracoid process. It details the deltopectoral access, the steps for approaching and fixing the humerus with a rod and cerclage, the technique for fixing the glenoid with screws, and the stabilization of the coracoid, in addition to the anatomical closure, highlighting the key points of each step for an optimized functional outcome.
