Tripod Technique: Radio Head Attachment

Elbow instability following radial head fractures with coronoid avulsion presents a frequent challenge.

This training presents the tripod technique with double compression screws and capsular reinsertion with a metallic anchor, in 4K video from a surgical perspective, allowing you to understand every technical detail and apply it safely in practice.

Training Focus:

• Osteosynthesis of the radial head while preserving vascularization.
• Tripod technique with double compression screws (2.4 mm).
• Reinsertion of the anterior joint capsule with a metal anchor.
• Lateral ligament reconstruction and anatomical closure.
• Intraoperative stability and early mobilization tests.

Detailed Content:

• Precise Reduction: Preservation of the periosteum to maintain vascularization.
• Secure Fixation: Screws embedded at a biomechanical angle of 45°.
• Joint Stability: Capsular reinsertion with a 5 mm metal anchor.
• Tissue Preservation: Lateral access optimized by the Kaplan interval.
• Post-Operative Mobility: Planning for early movement without risk of instability.
• Complication Control: Techniques to prevent misalignment and biomechanical failure.
• 4K visualization: Surgical steps recorded in high definition.
• Critical Commentary: Analysis of intraoperative decisions made by the surgeon.

Materials Included:

Detailed PDF: Covers surgical planning, the tripod technique, capsular reinsertion with an anchor, meticulous closure, and the sequence of intraoperative tests—serving as a practical reference guide for both intra- and postoperative care.
