Proximal Femur Fracture, Case 4: Double See-Saw Technique

Study Proximal Femur Fracture, Case 4: Double See-Saw Technique through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on percutaneous reduction using the seesaw technique (lever mechanics utilizing muscle mass), reduction of the inferiorly displaced femoral shaft, and correction of femoral calcar displacement (positive).

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

• Percutaneous reduction using the seesaw technique (lever mechanics utilizing muscle mass)
• Reduction of the inferiorly displaced femoral shaft
• Correction of femoral calcar displacement (positive)
• Two simultaneous seesaw maneuvers
• Guide wire positioning (AP and lateral)
• Osteosynthesis with intramedullary nail in unstable fracture

Key Technical Decisions

• Percutaneous Reduction
• the Seesaw Technique
• Correction of Inferior Displacement of the Shaft
• Fine Adjustment of the Femoral Calcar
• Stable Maintenance of Reduction

Included With This Training

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

Learning Format

First-person operative footage, surgeon-led narration, and case-based visual review designed to support preparation before supervised clinical training.
