Abstract
Prof. Vatroslav Florschütz constructed in 1911 an extension table for repositioning bone fracture fragments of the upper and lower extremities, after which a plaster splint was applied--this later became to be known as the Balkan beam frame. Florschütz's personal insistences of new techniques at the beginning of the 1900 have helped shape war surgery and traumatology.
