This surgical technique is performed via the deltopectoral approach. The subscapularis tendon is exposed and \"spared\" by splitting the fibers with use of a longitudinal incision between the upper 2/3 and lower 1/3 of the subscapularis. We begin the split medially near the myotendinous junction. Because the subscapularis becomes increasingly difficult to separate from the capsule as it tracks laterally, a RAY-TEC sponge is utilized to bluntly dissect. A T-shaped laterally based capsulotomy is made to expose the glenohumeral joint. The vertical aspect is made first, followed by the horizontal aspect from lateral to medial, extending to the labrum. A Fukuda retractor is placed through the split to hold the humeral head laterally. The labrum is elevated, and the glenoid is prepared with rasp. Then labrum is repaired with knotted suture anchors until it is secure. One anchor is utilized for each \"hour\" of the clock face, with a minimum of 3 anchors. The anchors are placed on the articular margin of the glenoid. Sutures are passed from the anchor through the capsule and tied outside the capsule. The capsulotomy is then repaired with use of a suture. The suture is utilized to pull the inferior portion superiorly. The inferior portion is taken superiorly, and the superior leaflet is imbricated over the top. Finally, an examination is performed to ensure that the humeral head can be translated to but not over the anterior and posterior glenoid rims. No repair of the subscapularis tendon insertion is required. The incision is closed with deep dermal and subcuticular suture.</p><p><strong>Alternatives: </strong>Nonoperative treatment options include rotator cuff and periscapular strengthening or immobilization.

Since the fracture patterns are so variable, some cases may have a lack of available specific osteosynthesis implants, despite recent advancements in implant engineering⁵. However, experienced surgeons are capable of using their knowledge and creativity to treat challenging lesions with use of preexisting plates while following the principles of fracture fixation and without compromising outcomes.

The remaining posterosuperior portion of the greater trochanter is trimmed to the level of the femoral neck by subperiosteal bone removal performed in an inside-out manner. The periosteum of the femoral neck is gradually elevated. The resulting soft-tissue flap, consisting of the retinaculum and external rotators, holds the blood vessels supplying the epiphysis. The femoral epiphysis is pinned in situ (in unstable cases) with threaded Kirschner wires, the ligamentum teres is transected, and the femoral head is dislocated. With the femoral neck exposed, the epiphysis is gradually mobilized from the metaphysis, allowing exposure of the residual femoral neck and inspection of any posteroinferior callus. To avoid tension on the retinacular vessels during reduction of the epiphysis, the posterior neck callus is completely excised. The remaining physis is removed with use of a burr while holding the epiphysis stable. The epiphysis is gently reduced onto the femoral neck, avoiding tension on the retinacular vessels. If tension is noted, the femoral neck is rechecked for residual callus, which is excised. If no callus is found, the neck may be carefully shortened in order to minimize tension.

{"title":"Olecranon Osteotomy Exposure for Distal Humeral Fracture Treatment.","authors":"Nathan S Lanham, Jordan G Tropf, John D Johnson","doi":"10.2106/JBJS.ST.23.00041","DOIUrl":"10.2106/JBJS.ST.23.00041","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Olecranon osteotomy (OO) is commonly utilized to improve exposure when treating intra-articular distal humeral fractures. A chevron-shaped osteotomy facilitates reduction and increases surface area for healing¹. Following distal humeral fracture reduction and fixation, the OO fragment is fixed with a precontoured plate. The OO technique yields comparable outcomes to alternative techniques^1,2.</p><p><strong>Description: </strong>The technique is performed as follows. (1) Imaging is reviewed and preoperative planning is performed. (2) The patient is positioned in the lateral decubitus position with the operative extremity placed over a bolster. (3) A longitudinal posterior skin incision is centered just medial or lateral to the tip of the olecranon. Full-thickness skin flaps are raised medially and laterally. (4) The ulnar nerve is identified and mobilized for later anterior subcutaneous transposition. (5) An OO is performed at the non-articular \"bare area\" of the trochlear notch with an oscillating saw and completed with an osteotome. (6) Open reduction and internal fixation of the distal humerus is performed. (7) The osteotomy fragment is reduced, and a precontoured plate is applied. (8) A small longitudinal slit in the distal triceps over the proximal edge of the plate decreases plate prominence and is repaired with suture. (9) The subcutaneous tissues and skin are closed in the usual manner.</p><p><strong>Alternatives: </strong>Alterative techniques include extra-articular OO, triceps splitting, triceps reflecting, and lateral para-olecranon combined with a medial approach. Multiple drill holes and a thin osteotome can help mitigate the kerf created by the oscillating saw. Alternative fixation methods include a predrilled 6.5-mm intramedullary screw, a tension band construct, suture fixation, or a one-third tubular plate.</p><p><strong>Rationale: </strong>The OO technique provides improved exposure when compared with alternative techniques, enabling accurate reduction and fixation of distal humeral fractures^1-3. Wilkinson and Stanley found that OO exposed the distal humeral articular surface to a greater degree than the triceps-splitting and triceps-reflecting approaches³. OO has not been associated with triceps weakness, unlike some of the alternative techniques².</p><p><strong>Expected outcomes: </strong>The incidence of good-to-excellent outcomes is similar when comparing the techniques for exposure of intra-articular distal humeral fractures⁴.
