abstract="Between Jan 1st 1978 and June 30th 1981 we treated 98 patients with multiple fractures of the lower extremities. Of a total of 260 fractures 86,2% were operated following the rule of primary definitive treatment. The postraumatic osteomyelitis rated 8,2%; the lethality was 16,3% due to other concomitant injuries of polytraumatized patients. The different patterns of fractures required individual operative-planning. Since in patients with multiple fractures of the lower limbs mobilisation is difficult, early operation to achieve training-stability proved to be valuable.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
