TRAUMA, UPPER EXTREMITY
Cases provided by Martin Jaeger, Freiburg, Germany Case 1: 79-year-old with four-part dislocation A 79-year-old man suffered a four-part dislocation fracture after a fall from standing height (Fig 2a). Closed reduction was achieved in the technique according to Stimson (Fig 2b). Intraoperative fluoroscopic controls document an anatomic reduction and internal fixation with PHILOS (Fig 3). Intraoperative leakage testing with radiopaque contrast dye was performed (Fig 4). The Traumacem V was then prepared (Fig 5). Intraoperative screw augmentation with Traumacem V was then conducted (Fig 6). Final fluoroscopic controls document an extraarticular cement distribution (Fig 7). The 3-month postoperative x-rays are shown (Fig 8).
