  • Title: Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis: tibia and fibula.
    Author: Beale BS, McCally R.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2012 Sep; 42(5):1023-44, vii. PubMed ID: 23040306.
    Abstract:
    Fractures of the tibia and fibula are common in dogs and cats and occur most commonly as a result of substantial trauma. Tibial fractures are often amenable to repair using the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique because of the minimal soft tissue covering of the tibia and relative ease of indirect reduction and application of the implant system on the tibia. Treatment of tibial fractures by MIPO has been found to reduce surgical time, reduce the time for fracture healing, and decrease patient morbidity, while at the same time reducing complications compared with traditional open reduction and internal fixation.
