title: [External fixators in the treatment of fractures and fractures/luxations of the pelvis].
abstract: Combined fractures of the two pelvic arches and severe disjunction of the pubic symphysis are acute lesions which are difficult to treat; in order to avoid poor functional results, the use of external fixatives have now become a routine orthopedic surgical practice. Two cases are reported to illustrate the large numbers of patients treated by the Orthopedic and Traumatological Division of the Ospedale Civile in Alessandria.
