Surgical Discussion

Patient positioning:  supine position. arm table

Anatomical surgical approach:  MIPO anterior approach

Operative remarks: 

MIPO approach in middle shaft fracture its a great tool, however its not always easy to get optimal reduction. I always tried avoid traction in butterfly in order to get contact between fragments so I can use the plate to make the reduction.
