Planning and Reduction Technique in Fracture Surgery
During the past 30 years, the Study Group for the Problems of Osteosyn­ thesis (AO) has made decisive contributions to the development of osteo­ synthesis as a surgical method. Through close cooperation among special­ ists in the fields of orthopedic and general surgery, basis research, metallurgy, and technical engineering, with consistently thorough follow­ up, it was possible to establish a solid scientific background for osteosyn­ thesis and to standardize this operative method, not only for the more ob­ vious applications in fracture treatment, but also in selective orthopedics where hardly any problems relating to bone, such as those with osteoto­ mies can be solved without surgical stabilization. Besides the objective aim, the AO was additionally stimulated by a spirit of open-minded friendship; each member of the group was recruited according to his pro­ fessional background and position, his skills, and his talent for improvisa­ tion. Against this backdrop without even mentioning the schooling program well known throughout the world I should like to add some personal and general comments. This book is written for clinicians, instructing them how to perform osteo­ synthesis with special reference to plating in all its varieties and in strict accordance with the biomechanical and biological aspects and facts. From this point of view, the chapter on preoperative planning merits particular emphasis. Not only is it conductive to optimal surgery, it will also contribute to self-education and may found a school.
