This textbook offers a comprehensive view of all aspects of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). The second expanded edition includes the expert knowledge of AO surgeons from all around the world. It not only provides basic concepts and the latest clinical and basic scientific research but guides the interested surgeon through the crucial steps of MIPO application in the different anatomical regions. The main concept behind the MIPO technique is to deal with soft tissue and bone in a way that does not add additional trauma to the fracture site. The bone must be accessed through soft-tissue windows away from the fracture site. Direct reduction maneuvers, if needed, should be executed to leave only small footprints at the fracture area and reduce disturbance of fracture healing.
