Greater Tuberosity Fracture: Deltopectoral Approach

Study Greater Tuberosity Fracture: Deltopectoral Approach through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on operative management of displaced humeral greater tuberosity fractures, direct reduction in cases with prolonged evolution and fibrosis, and deltopectoral approach for exposure and reconstruction.

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

• Operative management of displaced humeral greater tuberosity fractures
• Direct reduction in cases with prolonged evolution and fibrosis
• Deltopectoral approach for exposure and reconstruction
• Osteosynthesis with an anatomical locking plate
• Use of high-strength sutures for complementary stabilization

Key Technical Decisions

• Positioning
• Deltopectoral Approach Delimitation
• Preserving Dissection
• Fibrosis Management
• Fragment Exposure and Reduction

Included With This Training

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