title: [Experiences with the mini-external fixator used on the forefoot in complicated pressure necrosis].
abstract: Purulent osteomyelitis in the foot region, accompanied by peripheral polyneuropathy, represents a grave complication after initially insufficient treatment of soft-tissue infections. The possible use and advantages of the external minifixator as an alternative to immediate primary forefoot or foot amputation are described. Initial results of personal observations are described.
