Proximal Humerus Fracture: Joystick-Assisted Nailing

Study Proximal Humerus Fracture: Joystick-Assisted Nailing through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on fixation of proximal humerus fractures with intramedullary nail, minimally invasive reduction and fixation techniques, and fragment manipulation with "joystick" for assessment of the angle of attack.

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.
