Comprehensive Guide for Distal Humerus Plate (VALP)- 2.7 / 3.5 Medial
- Patient Evaluation : Review the patient's medical history, perform a physical examination, and assess imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans) to evaluate the distal humerus fracture.
- Surgical Planning : Analyze the fracture pattern and determine the appropriate size of the 2.7 / 3.5 Distal Humerus Medial Plate - VALP, as well as the number and placement of screws required for fixation.
- Informed Consent : Discuss the surgical procedure, potential risks, benefits, and alternatives with the patient, ensuring informed consent.
- Pre-operative Optimization : Optimize the patient's medical condition, including managing comorbidities, adjusting medications, and addressing any nutritional deficiencies.
- Antibiotic Prophylaxis : Administer prophylactic antibiotics according to institutional guidelines to reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
- Skin Preparation : Cleanse the surgical site with antiseptic solution to minimize the risk of contamination.
- Anesthesia : Collaborate with the anesthesia team to determine the appropriate anesthesia technique for the patient.
- Patient Positioning : Position the patient supine or in a lateral decubitus position, with the affected arm on a hand table or arm board.
- Incision : Make an appropriate incision over the distal humerus to expose the fracture site while preserving soft tissue integrity.
- Fracture Reduction : Carefully manipulate the fracture fragments into proper alignment using bone clamps, reduction forceps, or other reduction techniques.
- Plate Placement : Select the correct size and shape of the 2.7 / 3.5 Distal Humerus Medial Plate - VALP and position it on the medial aspect of the distal humerus.
- Screw Fixation : Secure the plate to the bone using locking or non-locking screws, ensuring adequate fixation and stability.
- Wound Closure : Close the incision in layers, ensuring hemostasis and meticulous closure of the subcutaneous and skin layers.
- Dressing Application : Apply a sterile dressing over the surgical site to protect the wound and minimize the risk of infection.
- Pain Management : Provide appropriate pain relief to ensure patient comfort.
- Early Mobilization : Encourage early mobilization and range of motion exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist.
- Wound Care : Instruct the patient on proper wound care, including keeping the incision site clean and dry, and monitoring for signs of infection.
- Follow-up : Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the patient's progress, assess healing, and remove sutures or staples as necessary.
- Rehabilitation : Implement a comprehensive rehabilitation program focused on restoring strength, mobility, and function of the elbow joint.
- Activity Restrictions : Advise the patient on activity restrictions to prevent implant failure or complications.
