Comminuted Radial Head Fracture: Arthroplasty

Study Comminuted Radial Head Fracture: Arthroplasty through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on radial head arthroplasty for comminuted fractures, lateral approach via the Kaplan interval, and uncemented prosthetic replacement with a focus on radial neck preservation.

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.
