This is the first book on the subject of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) that has been published. It includes current recommendations on this subject as taught
in the AO MIPO Courses organized by AO East Asia. It should serve as a useful guide for those trauma surgeons who lack the experience but wish to learn more about this subject
before starting to do the actual surgical procedures. Even for those with some experience in this field, the book contains many useful and practical tips that can be added to one’s
armamentarium.

The book is divided into two sections; the first section deals with general principles while the second section deals with the anatomical regions that current MIPO techniques are applicable to.

The book is written in a simple and easy-to-understand style with many case examples included to provide the reader with a broad spectrum of the type of problems that may be encountered in everyday practice. The book is well illustrated and animations and video clips are included to enhance the learning experience.

This book is highly recommended for those surgeons who are interested in learning more about the current practice of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis.

“The book concerning concepts and cases presented by AO East Asia is another far reaching proof of the new brotherhood of trauma surgeons spreading successfully the AO community advocating early total care of the accident victims described in very detail.”
