Key Points

• Preoperative radiographs and computed tomography scans are necessary to characterize the fracture pattern and identify any concomitant injuries.

• Appropriate fluoroscopic views should be obtained after patient positioning but before starting the procedure.

• Lateral decubitus positioning eliminates gravity as a deforming force on the fracture fragment.

• The use of a 70° arthroscope may improve visualization.

• Hematoma and callus in the fracture site should be thoroughly debrided before reduction.

• Precise portal placement with needle localization allows placement of anchors with appropriate starting position and trajectory.

• Use intraoperative fluoroscopy to confirm fracture reduction and screw placement.
