Overview of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis
Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) is a surgical technique used to stabilize fractures with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. It involves inserting metal plates through small incisions to hold broken bones in place. This method promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
The MIPO Procedure Explained
MIPO is performed by making small incisions near the fracture site, allowing surgeons to insert plates without fully exposing the bone. Specialized imaging tools, such as fluoroscopy, guide the precise placement of these plates. The plates, typically made of titanium or stainless steel, are secured with screws to stabilize the fracture. This technique preserves the blood supply to the bone and surrounding tissues, which is crucial for healing. MIPO is particularly beneficial for fractures in areas with limited access or complex anatomy, as it reduces soft tissue damage and scarring.
When is MIPO Needed?
- To treat fractures with minimal soft tissue disruption.
- When traditional open surgery poses higher risks of infection.
- To preserve blood supply to the bone, aiding in faster healing.
- For fractures in complex or hard-to-reach areas.
