Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates a radial shortening osteotomy, describing the procedure and providing tips for successful execution. The surgeon discusses the different approaches for the incision and highlights the importance of aligning the skin incision with the radius and ulna. The plate is placed below the distal radial ulna joint to avoid impingement. Two techniques for the osteotomy are explained: transverse and oblique, each with its own advantages. The surgeon discusses pre-bending the plate and the use of screws in compression. Detailed steps for the surgery are outlined, including incision, dissection, and fixation of the plate. The osteotomy is performed carefully with attention to alignment and irrigation. Compression screws are inserted to ensure proper bone union. The surgeon also mentions the use of bone graft and the post-operative care, including splinting and early range of motion. Overall, the video provides a comprehensive guide to radial shortening osteotomy. No credits were mentioned in the video.
