APEX Elbow Mastering Surgical Techniques for Clinical Success-Coronoid Fractures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses coronoid fractures, covering anatomy, biomechanical data, pathoanatomy, injury mechanisms, classification systems, treatment indications, and fixation techniques. The coronoid serves as an anterior buttress to prevent posterior dislocation and can contribute to stability and valgus instability. Various studies highlighted the importance of understanding the size and location of the fracture for treatment decisions. Surgical techniques such as suture lasso fixation were demonstrated for managing different types of coronoid fractures, with considerations for associated injuries. The goal is to restore stability and prevent instability, with individualized approaches based on fragment size and location.
