Ten different surgical approaches are suggested depending on the specific nature of the fracture. In this format it is ideal for preoperative planning after the initial acute management. This has been described as temporary spanning with an external fixator (SPAN), CT imaging (SCAN), and making a preoperative plan (PLAN). It is only by following these well-designed and tested surgical routes that one avoids the perils of wound coverage breakdown and infection, nonunion, and/or malunion.

“The authors have provided not only crystal-clear illustrations of the complex anatomy, but also limpid and surgically relevant concepts indispensable for a successful operation.”
— Prof. Pierre J. Hoffmeyer
“I would like to thank the authors for this atlas which is filled with hints and tricks related to the anatomical makeup of this very special area of the shin bone and its envelope, packed with surgical advice and fantastic drawings to provide practical recommendations.”
— Prof. Hans Zwipp
“The dissections illustrated in this atlas are of brilliant anatomical quality. Thus they bear witness, in addition to their didactic value, to the beauty of the human body, to which the morphologist is also sensitive.”
— Prof. Jean H.D Fasel
