Proximal Femur Fracture: Intramedullary Nail and See-Saw Maneuver

Study Proximal Femur Fracture: Intramedullary Nail and See-Saw Maneuver through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on fixation of unstable proximal femur fractures with an intramedullary nail, patient positioning technique without a traction table, and "Seesaw" reduction maneuver for impacted and valgus fractures.

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.
