Main description:

This book and DVD set presents the most current recommendations for
minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). Based on a groundbreaking AO
course taught in East Asia, this exceptional book serves as a useful guide for
both beginning and experienced trauma surgeons using MIPO techniques.

The first
section of the book reviews general principles, including mechanobiology,
instrumentation, implants, imaging, computer assisted surgery, reduction
techniques, and more. The second section organizes its coverage of clinical
applications according to the anatomical location of the fracture. The book
guides the reader step-by-step through the management of each case, providing
practical tips, photographs, and illustrations which clarify key concepts.
Animations and video clips on an accompanying DVD-ROM supplement and reinforce
topics discussed in the text.
