Abstract
Minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIO) involves the application of implants for fracture stabilization without making an extensive surgical approach to expose the fracture site. The bone segments are reduced using indirect reduction techniques (without direct manipulation of the bone at the fracture site ). This chapter considers case selection and preoperative considerations; principles of specific fixation methods using minimally invasive osteosynthesis. Operative techniques: Reduction techniques for minimally invasive fracture surgery; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the humerus; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the radius; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the femur; Minimally invasive application of a plate to the tibia.
