About The Webinar
During the past two decades, the ongoing review of clinical outcomes following fracture stabilization has led to a radical paradigm shift toward emphasizing the biologic component of fracture healing. This has become the foundation of a new philosophic approach known as minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIO). With MIO, the fracture site is not exposed, which in turn preserves the fracture hematoma and promotes earlier fracture healing. This webinar will explore the clinical benefits which can be associated with this approach, starting with diaphyseal fractures and then progressing to discuss the use of MIO for treatment of periarticular and articular fractures.
Although potentially clinically rewarding, MIO is also technically challenging. This webinar will address ways in which a surgeon may optimize results through fastidious preoperative planning, careful patient positioning, indirect reduction techniques and appropriate choice of stabilization method.
