Intramedullary Rod for Proximal Humerus Fracture

Enhance the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. This training offers a technical immersion in intramedullary nail osteosynthesis, presented in 4K video from the surgeon's perspective, emphasizing fragment management and minimally invasive approaches.

Training Focus:

• Osteosynthesis of proximal humerus fractures with intramedullary nail.
• Technique for manipulating the proximal fragment with a "joystick" wire.
• Proximal and distal percutaneous blocking.
• Minimally invasive approach.

Detailed Content:

• Strategic Patient Positioning: Optimization of positioning for facilitated access and fluoroscopic visualization.
• Precise Guide Wire Management: Methodology to valgus the varus proximal fragment and optimize the entry angle of the intramedullary nail guide wire.
• Enhanced Radiographic Control: Orientation techniques in anteroposterior and lateral views for precise insertion of the wire and rod.
• Non-Cannulated Rod Insertion Technique: Step-by-step approach for opening the medullary canal and manual introduction of the rod under fluoroscopic control.
• Systematized Percutaneous Blocking: Protocols for safe and effective insertion of proximal and distal locking screws.
• Prevention of Complications at Finalization: Strategies for guide removal and introduction of the plug screw, minimizing complications and the need for access enlargement.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF: The PDF summarizes the essential steps of the procedure, including patient positioning, manipulation of the proximal fragment with the "joystick" wire, radiographic control, opening of the medullary canal, insertion of the intramedullary rod, proximal and distal percutaneous blocking, and finalization, highlighting critical points and expected outcomes for proximal humerus fractures with an intact humeral head.
