Perioperative Imaging in Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis

Diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques are an integral part of the surgical planning and execution of any orthopedic procedure. Although this statement is true with conventional osteosynthesis, the reliance on imaging techniques is even more pronounced when minimally invasive surgery is used to achieve fracture repair. In minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIO), surgical approaches are minimalistic and performed away from the injury sites, which impedes the surgeon ’s ability to ascertain proper surgical execution.
