[Preclinical and clinical primary therapy of multiple fractures of the leg]

A successful clinical primary treatment of multiple fractures of the lower extremities depends on a rapidly administered preclinical therapy with short care periods. The early biomechanically stable osteosynthesis leads to improved haemodynamics by haemostasis and elimination of pain. Early functional treatment and hypostasis therapy will promote the prophylaxis of pneumonia. 14 patients with multiple fractures of the lower extremities were treated by the concept that provides for preclinical emergency therapy and clinical primary treatment as a unit.
