title: [Osteosynthesis procedures in microsurgery].
abstract: In microsurgery the indications and techniques of osteosynthesis are often different from normal orthopaedic surgery. Simple methods which do not require much time or metal and which guarantee sufficient stability and minimal soft-tissue trauma are preferable. The external fixator has a good indication in the tibia and the plate osteosynthesis in the upper extremity and in the femur. Kirschner wires are useful in peripheral osteosyntheses.
