Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) (ORIGINAL PDF from Publisher)

Explore minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) from foundational principles to step-by-step application across anatomical regions. This textbook combines surgical guidance, case examples, and detailed visual material to help you study an approach designed to avoid additional trauma to the fracture site while minimizing disturbance of fracture healing.

What you'll learn

• Understand the principles of MIPO: Section 1, Principles, covers the fundamentals of MIPO surgery and education in the technique.
• Plan procedures across anatomical regions: Section 2, Cases, encompasses all anatomical regions, with comprehensive introductions addressing indications, preoperative planning, and positioning.
• Follow reduction and fixation techniques: Study indirect and direct reduction, fixation methods, and thorough, step-by-step case examples.
• Study a tissue-preserving approach: Learn the concept of accessing bone through soft-tissue windows away from the fracture site, with any necessary direct reduction maneuvers leaving only small footprints at the fracture area.
• Explore additional clinical scenarios: Concluding chapters in the Cases section address pediatric and fragility fractures, special indications, and implant removal.
• Connect concepts with visual examples: Clear photographs, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and detailed illustrations support the surgical explanations.

Who this is for

For surgeons interested in MIPO who want to study its basic concepts, procedural planning, and application in different anatomical regions, alongside case-based guidance.
