  • Title: Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in small animals: radius and ulna fractures.
    Author: Hudson CC, Lewis DD, Pozzi A.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2012 Sep; 42(5):983-96, vii. PubMed ID: 23040304.
    Abstract:
    Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) is a biologically friendly approach to fracture reduction and stabilization that is applicable to many radius and ulna fractures in small animals. An appropriate knowledge of the anatomy of the antebrachium and careful preoperative planning is essential. This article describes the MIPO technique, which entails stabilization of the fractured radius with a bone plate and screws that are applied without performing an extensive open surgical approach. This technique results in good outcomes, including a rapid time to union and return of function.
