A clinical case study is presented to describe the use of the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) tech-nique, using the PRCL-M system with 11-hole locking compression and reconstruction plate with 6 locking screws. Virtual preoperative planning using the CorelDRAW version X5 vector program for digital design was employed to reduce the possible complications that could arise in an intervention. The subject was a 6-month-old male American Bull canine, presented with evident claudication in the right hind limb. Radiographic plates re-vealed a short oblique complete fracture at the proximal diaphysis of the right tibia and fibula, a low energy trauma occasioned by a motorcycle road traffic accident. This osteosynthesis case was resolved with OPMI. This mini-mally invasive technique is widely accepted for fractures of this nature, with satisfactory clinical results, owing to the flat surface of the medial border of the tibia. In this case, osteosynthesis and early healing resulted in a rapid recovery that was observed during postoperative care, without secondary complications. El propósito del presente caso clinico quirúrgico es describir la osteosíntesis con placa mínimamente invasiva (OPMI) con sistema PRCL-M placa de reconstrucción y compresión de bloqueo de 11 orificios con 6 tornillos de bloqueo. Acompañado mediante una pre planificación virtual ortopédico en el programa de vectores CorelDRAW versión X5 para el diseño digital, es importante para corregir las posibles complicaciones que se ha de presentar durante la intervención. Se presentó a consulta un canino de raza American Bull macho de 6 meses con claudica-ción evidente en el miembro posterior derecho, en las placas radiográficas revelan una fractura completa oblicua corta a nivel de diáfisis proximal de la tibia y peroné derecho, trauma de baja energía, ocasionada por atropello de una motocicleta. El caso de osteosíntesis se resolvió con la OPMI que es ampliamente aceptada debido a los re-sultados clínicos satisfactorios, debido a que la ...
