[Epiperiostal, percutaneous plate osteosynthesis. A new minimally invasive technique with reference to "biological...

Conservation of bone perfusion, protection of the soft tissue envelope and reduction of systemic stress by strengthening the host defence mechanism are general and essential aspects of a biological osteosynthesis. The minimal invasive operating techniques with the use of technical aids and tricks form the necessary presupposition for successful bone healing with a low complication rate. For an epiperiosteal, percutaneous plate osteosynthesis, the technique using a sliding tip and a manipulation handle is demonstrated.
