Distal Limb Fractures

Distal limb fractures pose many specific and difficult obstacles that need to be addressed by the surgeon. One of the more challenging situations facing the orthopaedist is a distal orientated just-articular fracture. Both the radius and tibia are commonly involved and successful repair is often dependent on having several tricks up your sleeve. The principles and techniques discussed are illustrated using several cases studies.

At the conclusion of this presentation you will understand:

  • Decision making in distal long bone fractures
  • Orthogonal fixation
  • Specialised intramedullary implants
  • Hybrid ESF
  • Arthrodesis as a salvage option
