Abstract:
Technique fixateur-pin-wire/plaster is an original method. It is connected very much with the primary treatment in the cases of the improvised war hospitals, where are no elements for internal fixation. In the act "open" fixation the free fragments are connected with Shantz pins. Around the pin is the wire (as inter-fragmentary compression with a screw). In this way, when the fixateur is not necessary it can be removed, but the place of fracture is fixed. During the coming treatment the plaster can be used, but it may not. In this way we can finish the treatment without use of surgery. This method we have used continually as a clinical treatment. In the paper we shall our first good experiences.
