Proximal Femur Fracture, Case 3: Rocker Maneuver

Study Proximal Femur Fracture, Case 3: Rocker Maneuver through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on fixation of intertrochanteric fracture of the proximal femur, technique without the use of a traction table, and surgical positioning and assessment of fluoroscopy.

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.
