Intramedullary Nail for Proximal Humerus Fracture

Enhance the treatment of proximal humerus fractures. This training offers a technical immersion in osteosynthesis with intramedullary nail, 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.
• Proximal fragment manipulation technique with "joystick" wire.
• Proximal and distal percutaneous locking.
• Minimally invasive approach.

Detailed Content:

• Strategic Patient Positioning: Positioning optimization for facilitated access and fluoroscopic visualization.
• Precise Guidewire Management: Methodology to valgus the varus proximal fragment and optimize the angle of attack of the intramedullary nail guidewire.
• Enhanced Radiographic Control: Orientation techniques in anteroposterior and profile views for precise wire and nail insertion.
• Non-Cannulated Nail Insertion Technique: Step-by-step approach for medullary canal opening and manual nail introduction under fluoroscopic control.
• Systematic Percutaneous Locking: Protocols for safe and effective insertion of proximal and distal locking screws.
• Complication Prevention at Completion: Strategies for guide removal and end cap screw introduction, minimizing complications and the need for access extension.

Included Material:

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