Radius and Ulna Shaft Fractures: Plate Fixation

Study Radius and Ulna Shaft Fractures: Plate Fixation through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on operative management of radial and ulnar shaft fractures, dorsal approach (Thompson) for radial fractures, and traditional approach for ulnar 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.
