Unique treatment strategies to fix challenging fractures remains a cornerstone of orthopaedic trauma and innovation. The use of these strategies remain uncommon, and large numbers to publish results remain difficult, therefore limiting the ability to share these techniques. This breakout session is meant to share unique treatment solutions that have worked to address rare clinical scenarios, and to inspire collaboration and future development of fixation constructs, soft tissue management, and bone loss management.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Identify unique fixation strategies to address challenging fracture patterns with short segments.
  • Illustrate soft tissue options when plastic surgery involvement is not an option.
  • Apply unique bone loss strategies to address large defects in poor hosts.
