Distal radial fractures are recognized as very complex injuries with a variable prognosis that depends upon the fracture type and the treatment method. The purpose of this study is to compare radiological and clinical result between external fixation and external fixation with primary bone graft in intraarticular comminuted fracture of distal radius. From January 1993 to December 1995, 32 patients with comminuted intraarticular fractures of the distal radius were treated using a external fixation. 15 cases were treated with ligamentotaxis without bone graft and 17 cases were treated with additional primary bone graft. In last follow-up examination, the mean loss of radial length, radial inclination and volar tilt were less in with bone graft group than without bone graft group. According to Demerit point system Excellent to good results were obtained in 88.2% in cases of external fixation and bone graft group, 66.6% in cases of only extemal fixation group. External fixation combined with primary bone graft is more useful method for the reconstruction and treatment of comminuted intraarticular fractures of the distal radius than closed reduction and external fixation because cancellous bone graft not only provides early mechanical stability but also helps to reduce and supports the depressed intraarticular fragments. Furthermore, this method not only prevents late collapse of fracture but also enhance fracture healing.

T.E,N. is characterized by large flaccid bullous eruption that has the appearance of the scalded lesion and has large sheets of the pilling off skin. This 49-year-old female patient was suffered from the erythematous skin lesions on the face and. upper chest since 8 hours after oral administration of sulfa drug for endametritis. These lesions spread to the about 80% of whole body surface, and changes to the characterastic flaccid bullous scalded lesion, within next 24 hours. This patient was treated with a massive systemic corticosteroid and antibiotics and etc,so complete recovery of the lesions were found in three case of T.E.N. due to sulfa drug is presented with brief review of literature.

Authors reviewed 42 fractures of distal tibia fixated with Ender nails(24 cases) or Interlocking nails(18 nails) at the Chosun university Hospital from 1986 to 1992. The purpose of this study is to compare the bony union, the complications and the functional results of two groups(Ender nailing group and Interlocking nailing group). The follow-up period was average 19 months(range, 12 to 36 months). The results were as follows 1. The most common causes of the injury were traffic accidents(36 cases). 2. In the Ender nailing group, 8 cases are closed fractures and 16 cases are open fractures. Among 24 cases, 14 cases are simple fractures and 10 cases comminuted fractures. In interlocking nailing group, 7 cases are closed fracture and 11 cases are open fractures. Among 18 cases, 8 cases are simple fractures and 10 cases are comminuted fractures. 3. The average radiologic union was obtained at 19.3 wks in Ender nailing group, and 18.1 wks in interlocking nailing group. 4. Major complication was a delayed union in both group(5 cases-Ender nailing group, 3 cases-Interlocking group). 5. According to the criteria of functional results by Klemm and Borner, we obtained a 87.5% of Excellent and good results in Ender nailing group(21 out of 24 cases) and 94.4% of Excellent and good results in Interlocking group(17 out of 18 cases). 6. There was no significant difference between the two groups in stable fractures of distal tibia, so we suppose that Ender nailing is a good technique in these cases due to its simplicity and the economic price. But in more unstable fractures such as long oblique, spiral and comminuted fractures, we think that intramedullary interlocking nailing is better due to its stability.
