77th ASSH Annual Meeting - Back to Basics: Practice and Education-IC02: New Perspectives on Distal Radius Fractures: Tips and Tricks (AM22)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses tips and tools for dealing with challenging distal radius fractures. The presenter demonstrates the use of various tools such as the lobster claw, large pointed tenaculum, bridge plate, laminar spreader, and hypodermic needle. These tools are used for reduction, fixation, and stabilization of the fracture. The importance of early correction of malunions is emphasized. The video also discusses the use of radial column plates and K-wires for stabilization. The speakers highlight the assessment and treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome and median nerve dysfunction in patients with distal radius fractures. They also discuss associated fractures such as dorsal sigmoid notch fractures, ulnar neck fractures, and styloid fractures, as well as ligamentous injuries like SL injuries and interosseous ligament injuries. The management of osteoporosis in patients with distal radius fractures is also addressed. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive overview of the management of distal radius fractures, including the use of various tools and techniques for reduction, fixation, and stabilization, as well as the treatment of associated fractures and ligamentous injuries.
