It is with pleasure that we offer these introductory remarks for
the Manual of Internal Fixation in the Horse, a book describing a
further application of AO or ASIF techniques. The letters A-O stand
for the Arbeitsgemeinschaft fUr Osteosynthesefragen and have been
trans lated into the Association for the Study of Internal
Fixation. The organization is truly a "study group," created in
Switzerland, that met for the first time in 1958. The major goal
was to establish a task of fracture treatment by force committed to
the improvement osteosynthesis. The group's motivation arose out of
the then prevailing unsound or inconsistently successful attempts
at fracture treatment. According to statistics obtained from the
Swiss National Health Insurance Program at the time, the so-called
conservative treatment of fractures had resulted in a high rate of
persistent morbidity. The problems encoun tered included:
irreparable damage due to long-term immobilization; delayed union
or pseudoarthrosis; malalignment; and, inadequate reduction of
intraarticular fractures with resultant osteoarthritis. Accurate,
stable osteosynthesis seemed the only practical way to address
those various shortcomings. However, many of the osteosyn theses
performed at that time had led to new problems, since most were not
stable and, in some cases, actually worked to prevent healing."
