Master the treatment of posterior shoulder dislocations with humeral head impaction, a technical challenge requiring precision to prevent fracture line progression. This training offers an immersion into the surgical approach, detailing reduction maneuvers and fixation with a carbon fiber plate, presented from a surgical perspective.

Training Focus:

• Formal deltopectoral approach for posterior shoulder dislocation.
• Reduction maneuvers in cases of humeral head impaction.
• Fixation with a carbon fiber plate and screws for fragment stabilization.
• Preservation of muscular and neurovascular structures.

Detailed Content:

• Expanded Deltopectoral Approach: Methodology for meticulous opening of the deltopectoral interval, separation of subcutaneous tissue and muscle, and expansion of the space for surgical exposure.
• Deep Structural Identification: Strategies for delimiting the humeral head deeply and inserting retractors in cases of difficult access.
• Controlled Reduction Maneuvers: Techniques to attempt dislocation reduction with high-strength sutures, focusing on preventing complete fragmentation of the humeral head.
• Fixation with Carbon Fiber Plate: Procedures for rotator cuff repair and joint stabilization, even in the presence of loose fragments.
• Lesser Tuberosity Fragment Management: Approach for isolated fixation of loose fragments, such as the lesser tuberosity, using additional screws.
• Tissue Integrity Preservation: Demonstration of maintaining the integrity of muscle fibers and the cephalic vein during the procedure.
• Optimized Anatomical Positioning: Techniques to ensure joint reduction with anatomical positioning and tuberosities secured for a safe outcome.

Material Included:

• Detailed PDF: This PDF addresses the condition of posterior shoulder dislocation with humeral head impaction, details the difficulty of reduction without completing the fracture line, describes the deltopectoral approach, reduction maneuvers, fixation with a carbon fiber plate and screws, and the surgical outcome, emphasizing anatomical preservation and good patient evolution.
