title: [Theoretical basis and clinical experiences in stabilizing the tibia by means of the external fixator (author's transl)].
abstract: This paper deals with the stabilization of the tibia by means of the external fixator in special problematic cases. Indication, surgical technique and postoperative care are presented as the result of theoretical investigations and the clinical experience of several years. It is pointed out that the external fixator is a supplementary method to the standard surgical technique.
