Proximal Femur Fractures Without Traction Table

Master the surgery of proximal femur fractures, a procedure that can now be optimized without a traction table. This training offers a hands-on immersion in a method that allows free manipulation of fragments, avoiding reduction and positioning obstacles, applicable in any hospital with a conventional table.

Training Focus:

• Treatment of proximal femur fractures without a traction table.
• Free manipulation of fragments during surgery.
• Optimization of reduction and positioning.
• Application of the technique in any hospital with a conventional table.

Detailed Content:

• Patient and Table Positioning: Learn how to set up a conventional split table, removing the contralateral side for access to the image intensifier.Position the contralateral limb in a gynecological stirrup (90° hip flexion and external rotation) and keep the limb to be operated on free and extended.
• Optimization of the Image Intensifier (C-Arm): Ensure free space under the table for the movement of the C-Arm. Position the base close to the contralateral leg for quality lateral images, ensuring visualization of the head, neck, and diaphysis of the femur for alignment.
• Operational Advantages: This positioning is simple, quick, and reproducible in any location. It facilitates the adduction of the limb for the entry of the guide wire and allows the surgeon to use forceps and minimally invasive maneuvers to keep the fragments aligned, with the assistance of an aide.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF: A comprehensive educational document that describes the practical and reproducible method for operating proximal femur fractures without the use of a traction table.
