title: [Fractures of limbs with associated craniocerebral injuries].
abstract: The authors have studied 37 cases of severe head injury with fractures of the limbs in Vienna. In 11 cases there was also a lesion of the trunk. The results of treatment are analysed. The authors conclude that early internal fixation of fractures is beneficial and leads to a lowered mortality by diminishing the number of secondary cerebral complications.
