Proximal Humerus Fracture: Deltopectoral Plate Fixation

Study Proximal Humerus Fracture: Deltopectoral Plate Fixation through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on plate osteosynthesis for proximal humerus fractures, deltopectoral approach: demarcation and dissection technique, and management of the long head of the biceps and rotator cuff tendons (supraspinatus, subscapularis).

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.
