Mason Type III Radial Head Fracture with Elbow Instability

Study Mason Type III Radial Head Fracture with Elbow Instability through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on reconstruction of comminuted radial head fractures (Mason 3) with associated instability, fixation of the radial head with mini-fragments, and repair of ligamentous structures and the coronoid process.

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.
