This will be a case-based discussion of evaluation and management of LC-1 Pelvic Ring Injuries. We will focus on injuries that are not clearly indicated for surgery by preoperative imaging. We will discuss the role for examination under anesthesia (EUA) and newly developed techniques to simulate EUA outside of the operating room. We will also discuss methods and sequence of fixation, with special attention paid to the anterior pelvic ring, as mechanical instability and displacement in the anterior ring is greatest under stress.

The prevalence of upper extremity periprosthetic fracture is increasing significantly. While trauma surgeons are well trained and comfortable with treatment of lower extremity periprosthetic fractures, for some, fractures of the upper extremity remain elusive. We believe a trauma surgeon should have the appropriate knowledge and expertise to treat fractures of the upper extremity, such as periprosthetic fractures around a shoulder prosthesis, or acromion stress fractures associated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
Accreditation Statement: The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Credit Designation: OTA designates this enduring material for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, learners will be able to:
- Understand which humeral shaft periprosthetic fractures can be treated non-operatively, and when they need surgery.
- Understand tips and tricks for surgical fixation of periprosthetic humeral shaft fractures
- Understand acromion and scapular spine fractures associated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and tips and tricks for surgical fixation

We believe a trauma surgeon should have the appropriate knowledge and expertise to treat fractures of the upper extremity, such as periprosthetic fractures around a shoulder prosthesis, or acromion stress fractures associated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. This webinar discusses how to best treat these difficult injuries for optimal outcomes: when is non-operative treatment is appropriate, which should be treated surgically, as well as technical aspects of how to perform the surgical procedures. The webinar will inform and educate Trauma surgeons so they can comfortably manage these injuries, and not routinely defer to the "shoulder" surgeons.

This will be hybrid format in which several faculty members will present a case which will generate discussion amongst the other faculty followed by a brief lecture on the history of the technique, indications, nuances, and subtleties. The target demographic is senior residents, orthopaedic trauma fellows, and any interested attendings wishing to learn more about these techniques. Specific topics will include the utilization of induced membrane techniques and bone grafting, bone transport utilizing circular frames (struts +/- acute shortening, cable transports), and bone transport with all-internal techniques (plate-assisted bone segment transport, bone transport nails if back on the market).
