This is to present the clinical analysis of 197 (165 Patients) open fractures of long bones which were treated at Han Gang Sacred Heart Hospital from December 1971 June 1975. The results obtained as follows: 1. The causes of injury were traffic accident 91, industrial accident 63, home acident 8 and other 3. 2. In this study, there were 139 males and 26 females. The main age incidence ranged 11–40 years. 3. Among the 197 cases, Tibia and fibula were affected mostly(54.8%) 4. Associated injuries included closed fracture of long bone 35, cerebral contusion 15, skull fracture 10, maxillofascial inury 9, joint dislocation 6 and other 21. 5. The method of treatment was chiefly debridement and primary closure of open wound with 16 internal fixation, followed by cast immobilization 161, skeletal traction 15 and pin & plaster. 5. 6. Consequent incidence of infection was 10.7% (deep 5.1%, superficial 5.6%) 7. The causative strains were coliform bacillus 28, pseudomonas 16, staphylococcus 6, streptococcus 1, and bacillus subtilis 1, 8. Death occured in 3 cases: the causes were sepsis due to pseudomonas 2 and anuria due to renal shut down 1.

One hundred and fifteen thoracolumbar vertebrel fractures Out. of 85 patients were avaluated in this study. In 97 cases out of 65 patients, angular deformity and loss of height of the fractured vertebral bodies were measured, and for 6. 3 months in average follow up study was made in 23 cases out of 18 patients. The angular deformity became increased from 18.4 degrees to 21. 0 degrees wheroas loss of height has also increased from 38.6 to 40.8%, showing little statical value. Incidence was higher in male than in female without seasonal differences. Age incidence ranged from 16 to 78, and most frequent in third and fourth decades. Causes of injury were industrial accident, traffic accident, home accident and fall from height. Location of injury was mainly twelfth thoracic and first lumbar vertebrae. As associated injury, fracture of the rib, ulna, malleolus and calcaneus in order. Conservative treatment was a method of choice, while operstive treatment was performed in 7%.
