Five hundred and fifteen children with single segment non-physeal extremity fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The male to female ratio was 2.7:1. The average age of study group was 9.9+/-4.7 years; 273 fractures (53%) were on the left, 242 (47%) were on the right. A fall was the main cause of the injury in most of the cases (80%). The forearm was the most commonly seen fracture site. Summer was the season when the fracture incidence was the highest. Highest surgical treatment rate (50%) was seen in supracondylar humerus fractures. It has been stated in the literature that non-physeal fractures are far more common than physeal fractures. We assume that this study not only will help understanding of the injury patterns of single segment non-physeal fractures in children but also, be a base for future studies in prevention and treatment of this type of fracture.
对515名单节段非骨骺端四肢骨折患儿进行回顾性研究。男女比例为2.7:1。研究组的平均年龄为9.9±4.7岁;273例骨折(53%)发生在左侧,242例(47%)发生在右侧。在大多数病例中(80%),跌倒为主要致伤原因。前臂是最常见的骨折部位。夏季是骨折发生率最高的季节。肱骨髁上骨折的手术治疗率最高(50%)。文献表明,非骨骺骨折远比骨骺骨折常见。我们认为,本研究不仅有助于了解儿童单节段非骨骺骨折的损伤模式,而且可为今后此类骨折的预防和治疗研究奠定基础。
