title: [Fixateur externe as a definitive treatment method of unstable thoracolumbar spinal fractures in emergency conditions--technical modification and clinical experiences].
abstract: A survey on 31 injuries of thoracolumbar spine, 27 were accompanied with neurological deficiency. Treatment was exclusively by means of percutan attached f.e. until bony consolidation. An average treatment time of 152 days took place. Mean rate of correction was about 0.24 (Beck's SI-Index). The former applied frame construction was substituted by self developed spindle fixateur system, adapted to the requirements of traumatology of the spine in emergency situations.
