Title: Extensile Lateral Approach for ORIF of Calcaneus Fracture #Orthopedics #Surgery #FractureFixation

Summary:
Welcome to our YouTube video on the Extensile Lateral Approach for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of a Calcaneus Fracture. In this informative guide, we'll explore the surgical technique utilized by orthopedic surgeons to treat severe fractures of the heel bone, the calcaneus.

The extensile lateral approach is a specialized surgical procedure designed to access and repair complex calcaneus fractures effectively. It involves creating a carefully planned incision along the outer side of the foot to expose the damaged bone accurately. The primary goal of this approach is to provide maximum visibility and access to the fractured area, enabling precise reduction and stable fixation of the bone fragments.

Throughout the video, we'll walk you through each step of the surgical procedure, from patient positioning to the post-operative care required for a successful recovery. We explain the benefits and potential risks associated with the extensile lateral approach, along with essential tips and techniques to optimize surgical outcomes.

In addition, we show a case with some of the challenges and potential complications.
