Big Breaks, Small Cuts: Minimally Invasive Trauma

MIS in Ankle Trauma explores the role of minimally invasive techniques in modern ankle fracture management, with emphasis on soft tissue preservation and anatomic reduction. Designed for surgeons managing rotational and complex ankle injuries, this CME webinar focuses on fracture pattern recognition, indications for percutaneous fixation, and biomechanical principles that allow stable constructs through limited exposures—particularly in compromised soft tissue envelopes. Through case-based discussion and practical algorithms, we will cover percutaneous fibular fixation, MIS syndesmotic stabilization, and fluoroscopic reduction assessment. The session emphasizes reproducible fracture control, avoidance of malreduction, and optimization of outcomes while maintaining a minimal surgical footprint.
