Abstract PDF: Fracture of distal radius represent the most common fractures of upper extremity. Recently, distal radius fractures are recognized as very complex injuries with a variable prognosis according to the fracture type and the treatment. Because unstable distal radius fractures have a high incidence of secondary displacement and shortening, they are not amenable to the traditional methods of closed manipulation. We classified distal radius fractures by Fernandez classification and analysed thirty-six cases of fractures followed up more than one year at Dae-Dong Hospital from March 1993 to September 1994 after ORIF with T-plate. The result were as follows: 1. ORIF of unstable fracture of distal radius with small T-plate, selective bone graft using volar approach, 81% of the patients had a rating of good or excellent by the modified scoring system of Green and OBrien. 2. Severely comminuted fractures as Fernandez type V necessitated additional fixation such as external fixator. 3. Femandez classification based on the mechanism of injury was helpful in planning the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.

Medical Certiflcate in Orthopedic Trauma Patient: reasonable duration of expected treatment: Bu Hwan Kim, Yong Kyun In; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(3):675-677. Published online July 31, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.3.675

Medical certificates in orthopedic trauma patients should be issued cautiously because of the important roles of the documents to the offenders and victims of accidents. But in real practice, we can find only a few references which can help doctors to decide the "duration of expected treatment" in trauma patients. A pamphlet issued by Korean Orthopedic Association "Guide to the medical certification in trauma patient" helped us a lot but it was published too long ago and had a few problems, so we suggests some ideas for revising the pamphlet.
