Two-Part Proximal Humerus Fracture: Plate Fixation

Study Two-Part Proximal Humerus Fracture: Plate Fixation through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on surgical dissection and hemostasis in the deltopectoral approach, identification of the deltopectoral interval and neurovascular structures, and bone exposure techniques and retractor positioning.

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

• Surgical dissection and hemostasis in the deltopectoral approach
• Identification of the deltopectoral interval and neurovascular structures
• Bone exposure techniques and retractor positioning
• Pectoralis and long head of the biceps tenotomy
• Anatomical reduction of proximal humerus fractures and provisional fixation
• Maneuvers for valgus impaction of the humeral head

Key Technical Decisions

• Marking and Incision
• Hemostasis
• Structural Identification
• Exposure
• Anatomical Reduction

Included With This Training

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