“…It was argued that fat marrow embolization due to increased intramedullary pressure or release of vasoconstricting mediators during reaming favors lung failure in multiply injured patients. By contrast, Van Os et al [40] stated that the presence of thoracic trauma should not be regarded as contraindication to early stabilization of major fractures with reamed nailing. Nevertheless, due to our clinical trials we keep on recommending external fixation to achieve early stabilization of long bones in multiply injured patients followed by nailing with a certain delay [36] as soon as the patient's condition has stabilized [27] Apart from the technical aspect, polytraumatized patients with head injuries are known to tend to musculoskeletal heterotopic ossifications [12,18].…”

“…Current guidelines for trauma surgery recommend early surgical stabilisation of fractures [5,6,22,24]. In accordance with these guidelines, since 1994, in our department we have changed our approach and this led to a substantial increase in the number of early surgical stabilisations.…”
