AO-ASIF methods and principles for fracture repair in small animal surgery are expanded with the use of the Mini Instrument and Implant Set. The technical characteristics of this fixation system, including Mini Plates particularly developed for the small animal patient, are presented. Three categories of clinical applications for the small size implants are reviewed and illustrated with clinical case reports. They include: (a) long bone fractures in patients under 5 kg, (b) articular fractures, (c) small bone fractures in larger dogs.

Key words
