Abstract

Of the 384 skulls from the early medieval period, 8 (2.1%) exhibited trepanations. Three skulls showed trepanations in the proximity of fractures. One case of infection after borrhole trepanation that resulted in death is identifiable. Seven skulls showed clear evidence of healing and survival after trepanation. The mortality and infection rates for trepanation were low during the 6th to 8th centuries in southwestern Germany.

摘要

在中世纪早期的384个头骨中，有8个（2.1%）显示有环锯术痕迹。3个头骨在骨折部位附近有环锯术痕迹。有1例钻孔环锯术后感染导致死亡的病例可以确认。7个头骨显示出环锯术后明显的愈合和存活迹象。在6至8世纪的德国西南部，环锯术的死亡率和感染率较低。
