Module: ORIF distal humerus fixation surgical technique video

Introduction

In this e-module, an expert faculty provides a detailed overview of the surgical management of C-type complete articular fractures of the distal humerus, OTA 13 C21. Learners are guided into the aspects of the procedure, from patient positioning, exposure, reduction, fixation, and closing, using the EVOS small plating system. Through a detailed explanation of key anatomy and vascular considerations, participants will gain valuable tips and pearls to achieve optimal surgical outcomes. In addition, learners will gain knowledge on post-operative care and follow-up.
