Perspectives on Trimalleolar Injuries with James Sferra, MD
A trimalleolar injury is a fracture of the ankle that involves the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the posterior malleolus. This complex injury can be difficult to treat appropriately. In this interview, Dr. James Sferra highlights the diagnosis, his treatment algorithm, and controversies of this indication.
Weber B Fracture Fixation Using the Fibula Rod with Alastair Younger, MD
The Acumed Fibula Rod System offers an alternative approach to traditional fibular plating by providing fracture stability with a minimally invasive surgical technique. In this video, Dr. Younger demonstrates using the Fibula Rod to reduce and provide fixation to an unstable Weber B fracture.
SaveLock Compression Sleeve Demonstration with Asif M Ilyas, MD
Part of the Hand Fracture System, the SaveLock Compression Sleeve serves two functions: to keep the 2.3 mm and 1.5 mm Hexalobe MultiScrews on the driver tip and to compress the plate to the bone when inserting the screw. The sleeve is threaded over the screw head only and prevents these threads from engaging the plate when inserting the screw shaft into the bone. Dr. Asif Ilyas demonstrates the use of the SaveLock Sleeve in this video.
Surgical Approaches to Proximal Phalangeal Fractures Using a Curved Medial-Lateral Plate with Asif M Ilyas, MD
The Hand Fracture System is designed to surgically treat various metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, fusions, and osteotomies, and includes five solutions in one tray. In this video, Dr. Asif Ilyas demonstrates common approaches to the proximal phalanx.
Surgical Approach to Rolando Fractures with Asif M Ilyas, MD
The Hand Fracture System is designed to surgically treat various metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, fusions, and osteotomies, and includes five solutions in one tray. The 1.3 mm Rolando Fracture Hook Plate is designed for a three-part fracture pattern at the base of the first metacarpal. In this video, Dr. Asif Ilyas demonstrates the use of the 1.3 mm Rolando Fracture Hook Plate to address such fractures.
Surgical Approach to Boxer’s Fracture with Asif M Ilyas, MD
The Hand Fracture System is designed to surgically treat various metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, fusions, and osteotomies, and includes five solutions in one tray. The 1.3 mm Metacarpal Neck Plate is designed to provide fixation for metacarpal neck fractures, or Boxer’s Fractures, and has three distal pointing converging screws to provide metacarpal head fixation. In this video, Dr. Asif Ilyas demonstrates the use of the 1.3 mm Metacarpal Neck Plate to address such fractures.
Perspectives on Ankle and Syndesmotic Injury with Richard Marks, MD
Ankle fractures with syndesmotic injuries can pose a significant challenge to patient healing and return to function. In this video, Dr. Marks highlights considerations for fixation of the ankle and possible treatment options for injuries of the tibiofibular syndesmotic ligament.
Calcaneal Fracture Treatment Using the Calcaneal Plate with Richard Marks, MD
The Acumed Calcaneal Plating System is designed to deliver performance and reliability for calcaneal fractures using a minimally invasive approach that may reduce the potential for wound complications and soft tissue irritation. In this video, Dr. Marks demonstrates a sinus tarsi approach to a calcaneal fracture using a Combo plate.
Medial Malleolus Fracture Treatment Using the Ankle Hook Plate with Richard Marks, MD
The Acumed Ankle Plating System 3 is designed to provide a variety of fixation options for fractures of the distal tibia and fibula. The system is composed of seven plate families designed specifically for the treatment of ankle fractures. In this video, Dr. Marks demonstrates the use of the system’s Hook Plate to treat a medial malleolus fracture.
