ASPS Global Partners Webinar Series: Distal Radius Fractures: Contemporary Concepts in Management

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The ASPS Global Partners webinar features two discussions focused on distal radius fractures and breast surgery. The first webinar explores contemporary concepts and management strategies for distal radius fractures, with insights from Dr. Rachel Hooper. She discusses the history and evolution of dorsal bridge plating, its use in high-energy unstable injuries, and its benefits over traditional external fixators. Dr. Hooper elaborates on surgical techniques and shares case studies demonstrating the application of the method in various complex scenarios.<br /><br />The second session, by Dr. Mathani, addresses the pitfalls and complications of distal radius fixation, emphasizing the importance of understanding ligamentous injuries and their impact on carpal alignment and stability. Dr. Mathani reviews problematic fracture patterns and highlights the crucial role of proper volar lunate facet fixation to prevent malunions. He also discusses how high-energy injuries can necessitate additional fixation strategies like dorsal distraction plating.<br /><br />The webinar encourages participant interaction through a Q&A session, aimed at clarifying questions on distal radius fracture management, stressing intraoperative assessments, and emphasizing post-surgical considerations to optimize patient outcomes.
