SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
External fixation is now being used widely to maintain fractures, osteo- tomies, and arthrodeses in a desired position during consolidation. As happened during the course "Internal Fixation of Fractures" held two years ago, the rigidity of internal fixation was frequently and intensively debated.
