Lateral Malleolus Fracture with Posterior Plate (Plan B)

Enhance your management of isolated lateral malleolus fractures, especially those with a multifragmentary component. This training offers a technical immersion into osteosynthesis with a posterior plate as an adaptive strategy, presented in high-resolution video from a surgical perspective, focusing on flexibility in intraoperative planning and early mobility.

Training Focus:

• Surgical treatment of isolated lateral malleolus fractures with a fragmentary component.
• Posterior plate osteosynthesis technique for shear control.
• Subperiosteal dissection for tissue preservation and implant protection.
• Strategies for adaptation and changes in intraoperative planning.

Detailed Content:

• Strategic Patient Positioning: Optimization of the surgical field and facilitation of access for the surgeon.
• Formal Lateral Surgical Approach: Ensures a clear field and precise fracture identification.
• Optimized Subperiosteal Dissection: Methodology with an internal scalpel to maintain periosteal integrity, protecting the implant and vascularization.
• Anatomical Reduction by "Fracture Teeth": Technique to precisely identify and coapt fragments.
• Adaptive Strategy with Posterior Plate: Approach to manage complex and fragmented fractures, ensuring stability and reduction.
• Fixation with Plate Lag Screw: Strategic screw placement for fracture stabilization through compression.
• Distal Plate Contouring: Prevention of fibular tendon irritation, optimizing postoperative comfort.
• Closure Over the Plate with Intact Periosteum: Protection of the osteosynthesis and maintenance of local vascularization.
• Aesthetic Closure: Application of a suturing technique for superior cosmetic results.
• Detailed 4K Visualization (Surgical Perspective): High-resolution analysis of surgical steps with anatomical and instrumental details.
• Post-Procedure Analysis of Intraoperative Decisions: Critical understanding of surgical choices and their rationale.

Included Material:

• Detailed PDF: Concise summary of the procedure, including: condition (isolated lateral malleolus fracture with fragmentary component), patient positioning, details of the formal lateral approach, subperiosteal dissection technique, steps for reduction and definitive fixation with a posterior plate, as well as fine adjustments and the closure protocol for functional and aesthetic results.
