AbstractWith the increasing use of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in the last years almost every anatomical region was included in this new technique. Thus, it is not used any more for certain fractures and problematic areas, but also in fractures where it represents a challenge to established osteosynthesis techniques like intramedullary nailing or conventional plating. Therefore the challenge for the treating surgeon increased to find the right answer for the particularities of an individual fracture by choosing the optimal method. The most popular indications for the use of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis are presented and the technical details are discussed. The possibilities for complications--in a common way and for specific fractures--are presented and discussed.
