It is well known that the careful control and therapy are needed in fracture patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). 88 fracture cases with DM were treated for the last 7 year; 29 were treated conservatively and 59 were operated.
We compared the change of blood suger before and after operation to see the influence of DM on the surgical treatment.
It was found that the condition of DM of most cases could be controlled well after operation except 2 cases.
It is concluded that active operative treatment should be done as soon as possible, if the diabetes control would be done enough after operation.
