Nailing of Subtrochanteric Fractures

Description

The live program focuses on the orthopedic principles surrounding the nailing of subtrochanteric fractures, presented by Dr. Ashok Gavaskar, a clinical leader in orthopedics based in Chennai, India. The session covers various technical aspects related to the reduction and fixation of these types of fractures, emphasizing the importance of proper alignment and reduction in order to avoid complications such as malunion and nonunion. Dr. Gavaskar discusses biomechanical advantages of using nails, minimally invasive techniques, and specific tips and tricks for managing challenges during surgery. He outlines learning objectives that include understanding deforming forces on the proximal femur, reviewing displacement patterns in proximal femoral fractures, and addressing common problems encountered during nailing procedures. Throughout the presentation, Dr. Gavaskar shares case studies and practical insights to enhance surgical techniques and outcomes.
