Abstract

The treatment of pathological bone fractures will be analysed by 53 patients of the Surgical Clinic of the University of Tübingen in view of fractures reason, operative providing and prognosis. The first aim consist in correction or preservation of live quality. Fractures nearly joints can be treated by endoprothetics. With the help of compound osteosynthesis most fractures can be stabilized. Conservative treatment only in final phase is legitimated.
