Radial Shaft Fracture, Case 2: Thompson Approach

Study Radial Shaft Fracture, Case 2: Thompson Approach through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on fixation of a radial shaft fracture with a 3.5 mm DCP plate, dorsal Thompson approach with identification of anatomical landmarks, and dissection through fascial planes with muscle preservation.

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.

What You Will Observe

• Fixation of a radial shaft fracture with a 3.5 mm DCP plate
• Dorsal Thompson approach with identification of anatomical landmarks
• Dissection through fascial planes with muscle preservation
• Anatomic reduction with control of rotation and length
• Interfragmentary compression technique with plate

Key Technical Decisions

• Structured Dorsal Approach
• Localization of the Fracture Site
• Atraumatic Dissection
• Targeted Exposure of the Radius
• Reduction with Biomechanical Control

Included With This Training

• Technical PDF summarizing the procedure, operative sequence, and key review points.
