title: [Common fractures in a general practice: indication for operations and modern operative technique].
abstract: Distal radius, clavicle, malleolar and proximal humerus fractures belong to the most frequent fracture types in every day practice. The initial diagnose with conservative therapy or the postoperative care is often carried out by the general practitioner. In recent years, therapy modality of these fractures changed. With the development of angular stable implants and minimal invasive operations technique, operative treatment is favoured mainly in osteoporotic bone. The mentioned fractures are highlighted.
