Doctors have some difficulties in deciding the duration of expected treatment for certain trauma patient in issuing medical certificate because of rarity of references about the medical certificate. In 1996, Korean Medical Association published Guide to Medical Certificate which helped many doctors in their practice of certificate issuing. But in reviewing the contents of the book, we would like to point out a few problems for amendment in next issue.

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.
