title: [Initial experiences with a new mounting system for AO external fixation].
abstract: The advantage of the herewith presented v-shaped unilateral external fixator lies in the combination of the stability characters of the v-shaped mounting with the convenience of the unilateral lay-out. The combination of the advantages of two mounting schemes that have already been clinically tested, suggest that these should be integrated into a single construction system. Both, the surgery procedure and the dynamics of the system have been described in detail. The clinical case studies document the first experience with this new mounting scheme.
