[Treatment of unstable pelvic girdle fractures with Wagner external fixation]. 1978

J Müller, and B Bachmann

Two cases of unstable pelvic ring fractures were stabilized by external fixation with a Wagner apparatus. This enabled a pain-free mobilization treatment to be started immediately afterwards, and, already 6 weeks later, a painless mobilization with a walking frame was achieved.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
