Comprehensive Guide for Distal Humerus Plate (ASLP)- 3.5 mm Extra-articular
- Patient Evaluation : Assess the patient's medical history, including any allergies, medications, and previous surgeries. Perform a physical examination and review imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans) to evaluate the fracture pattern and bone quality.
- Informed Consent : Discuss the surgical procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives with the patient or their legal guardian. Obtain informed consent.
- Pre-operative Planning : Plan the surgical approach, including the choice of incision, soft tissue handling, and fixation strategy using the ASLP - 3.5 Extra-articular Distal Humerus Plate.
- Pre-operative Antibiotics : Administer prophylactic antibiotics based on hospital protocol to reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
- Anesthesia : Administer appropriate anesthesia based on the patient's health status and surgical requirements.
- Incision and Exposure : Make an appropriate incision over the distal humerus to expose the fracture site while preserving soft tissue integrity.
- Fracture Reduction : Reduce the fracture anatomically to restore alignment and joint congruity.
- Plate Placement : Position the ASLP - 3.5 Extra-articular Distal Humerus Plate on the bone surface, ensuring proper alignment and fixation with the fracture fragments.
- Screw Fixation : Secure the plate to the bone using locking or non-locking screws through pre-drilled holes in the plate. Ensure optimal screw placement for stability and fracture compression.
- Wound Closure : Close the incision meticulously, ensuring proper soft tissue tension and hemostasis.
- Post-operative Imaging : Obtain post-operative X-rays to confirm proper plate position, fracture reduction, and screw placement.
- Dressing and Immobilization : Apply a sterile dressing over the incision site and immobilize the arm with a splint or sling as per surgeon preference.
- Pain Management : Manage post-operative pain with appropriate analgesics and adjunctive therapies.
- Early Mobilization : Initiate early range of motion exercises and rehabilitation under the guidance of a physical therapist to prevent stiffness and promote healing.
- Follow-up : Schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor the patient's progress, assess fracture healing, and adjust the rehabilitation program as needed.
