    AbstractIn the Berufsgenossenschaftliche Unfallklinik Murnau (a Workmen's Association Emergency Hospital) 101 patients were treated with the Raoul Hoffmann-Fixateur externe. In patients with fresh bone fractures this system was very useful in cases with large soft tissue damages, with compound fractures and when the fractures were located very close to a joint. Good results were achieved also in the treatment of patients with pelvic fractures by using the Raoul Hoffmann-apparatus. In cases of old fractures no osteomyelitis occurred after introducing the nails and bone-screws of the Fixateur externe. Even with the Raoul Hoffmann-apparatus still in the bone physical therapy and the general care of the patient was easily possible. According to our experiences the Fixateur externe proved to be a valuable aid in traumatology besides the usage of plates and medullary nails.
