Comminuted Articular Distal Humerus Fracture: Fixation
Study Comminuted Articular Distal Humerus Fracture: Fixation through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on positioning in prone decubitus and wide access to the distal humerus, identification and proximal protection of the ulnar nerve, and chevron osteotomy of the olecranon for wide articular exposure.
Procedure Overview
The case is organized for structured review of surgical anatomy, procedural sequencing, instrument handling, reduction or reconstruction strategy, implant positioning, and intraoperative verification. Expert narration connects the visual field with the decisions documented during the procedure.
