Reduction: Supracondylar Fractures

– See: – Baumann’s Angle – Cubitus Varus – Discussion: – in general a varus reduction cannot be accepted whereas a slight valgus reduction can be accepted; – the true amount of varus cannot be determined until arm is fully extended which is not performed … Read more

Reduction of Ankle Syndesmosis

– Discussion: – note that the main displacement of the fibula is posterior (not lateral); – reduction is achieved w/ IR of ankle & manual translation of fibula in an anterior direction until it reaches anterior tubercle of tibia; – fibular fracture is reduced & provisionally transfixed to the tibia w/ horizontal 1.6 mm … Read more

IntraOperative Reduction of Proximal Humerus Fracture

– Discussion: – proximal first or screw insertion method – goal is bring frx out to length (anatomically reduced) and to have the plate optimally positioned (not too proximal /not too distal); – disimpaction: – longitudinal traction to limb is applied – periosteal elevator is inserted into the fracture gap to … Read more

Reduction of Spondylolithesis

– Discussion: – progression of severe slips after apparently solid in situ arthrodesis has led some to consider reduction and instrumentation for spondylolithesis; – another rationale for reduction of the slip is improvement in cosmetic appearance of the trunk; – slip angle: – … Read more

Reduction of Surgical Neck Fractures

– Reduction of the Displaced Fracture: – if anterior angulation is > 45 deg, forward elevation will be limited; – gentle traction w/ flexion and some adduction is usually all that is needed to position arm in pivotal portion so that it can be impacted under head; – gental … Read more

Reduction of the Posterior Dislocation

– Parvin’s Method of Closed Reduction: – pt lies prone on stretcher, & physician applies gentle downward traction on the wrist for a few minutes; – as olecranon begins to slip distally, MD lifts up gently on arm; – alternatively MD may guide reduction of olecranon w/ opposite hand; … Read more

Reduction of Pelvic Volume from Pelvic Fractures

– Discussion: -see AP injuries and vascular injuries from pelvic fracture – anatomic reduction and stabilization of pelvic frx prevents continued blood loss by reducing bleeding from fracture fragments and from and injured sacral venous plexus which has the effect of reducing pelvic volume; – pelvic volume can be closed down by wrapping sheet around pelvis, and then sequentially … Read more
