This video is an excellent introduction for residents and review for new practicing surgeons of the basic intraoperative reduction techniques and tools one can use to restore alignment of distal radius fractures. The video presents techniques in conjunction with fixation using a volar locking plate, however, the techniques have a wide range of applications in different fixation approaches as well.
This video shows the surgical technique for thumb carpometacarpal arthroplasty with ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition using flexor radialis tendon. A tenodesis screw is used to improve fixation of FCR tendon into the first metacarpal bone.
