Proximal Humerus Fracture, Case 3: Long Nail Fixation

Study Proximal Humerus Fracture, Case 3: Long Nail Fixation through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on Kirschner wire joystick manipulation of the humeral head, fluoroscopic control in anteroposterior and lateral views, and long intramedullary nail insertion with proximal and distal locking.

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

• Kirschner wire joystick manipulation of the humeral head
