Abstract
Mplications that can be produced by additional surgical soft-tissue trauma and bone devascularization. Achieving this goal requires the surgeon to assess the degree of soft-tissue injury so as to be able to optimally time the procedure and plan the surgical dissection. Preoperative planning of the location of the internal fixation enables precise placement of the incisions. The author describes techniques of indirect reduction that enable the surgeon to achieve an adequate reduction without the extensive additional soft-tissue dissection previously required to allow fragment manipulation....Keywords
