AO Trauma Course—Shoulder and Elbow Trauma

• Module 1—Clavicle
• Module 2—Scapula
• Module 3—Proximal Humerus
• Module 4—Humeral shaft
• Module 5—Distal humerus, proximal ulna, and proximal radius
• Module 6—Elbow and radial and ulnar shaft

Clavicle:

• Operative treatment of a diaphyseal fracture
• Failed treatment of a diaphyseal clavicle fracture
• Lateral clavicle fracture (and discuss associated injuries)
• AC ligament injury
• Malunion of clavicle

Scapula:

• Displaced scapular body fracture
• Floating shoulder
• Articular glenoid fracture

Proximal humerus:

• Multimorbid, frail patient with complex fracture (reverse prosthesis)
• Loss of reduction (Failed tuberosity fixation with a focus on prevention)
• Implant cutout (varus displaced, 4-fragment, osteoporotic, multimorbid with a focus on prevention)
• Intraarticular screw penetration
• Avascular necrosis

Humeral shaft

• Nonunion
• Multi-fragment fracture of the humeral shaft
• Radial nerve involvement

Distal humerus:

• Low supracondylar fracture in osteoporotic patient
  OR
  Intercondylar fracture of distal humerus

Proximal ulna:

• Multi-fragmentary proximal ulnar fracture (olecranon and coronoid)

Proximal radius:

• Compression fracture (Essex-Lopresti)

Elbow and radial and ulnar shaft

• Simple elbow dislocation
• Complex fracture-dislocation of the elbow
• Complex open multi-fragmentary forearm fracture
• Complex closed multi-fragmentary forearm fracture

Anterior exposures:

• Clavicle
• Humerus
• Elbow
• Distal radius

Posterior exposures:

• Scapula
• Humerus
• Distal humerus and proximal ulna
