Abstract
In a retrospective review of 71 patients with multiple injuries matched for age and severity, 28.5 per cent of those whose fractures were treated conservatively died compared with 4.5 per cent of those whose fractures were fixed. Early stable fixation of fractures is recommended in patients with multiple injuries.Entities:
