title: [A new extension device for treatment of tibial fractures].
abstract: By means of a newly developed traction frame it is possible to maintain the reduction of a tibial fracture while implementing an internal or external fixation. This traction frame makes it even possible to perform intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures on a normal operation table.
