Triceps-Sparing Approach for Distal Humerus Fixation. Lee C(1), Brodke DJ. Author information: (1)University of California Los Angeles, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. The triceps-sparing approach to the posterior humerus affords broad exposure for fracture fixation with a minor risk of radial nerve palsy. By using a muscle-sparing interval, the approach facilitates reduction and fixation of humeral shaft and extra-articular distal humerus fractures without injury to the triceps. This video demonstrates the triceps-sparing approach used in the surgical treatment of a 23-year-old man with an extra-articular distal humerus fracture. Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
