To analyze the epidemiological profiles of children with orthopedic distal humerus fractures.
An analytical descriptive study was conducted with a retrospective approach using medical records of 665 orthopedic children who attended the Jesser Amarante Faria Children's Hospital, a reference hospital in the city of Joinville, Santa Catarina, between June 2012 and December 2016.
The results showed a predominance of male patients (64.2%), with a mean age of 7 years, and the age group of 6-10 years being the most frequent with 319 patients (48%). The main mechanism of trauma was fall of height in 59.7% of patients, Gartland type 1 fracture in 57.1%, and absence of vascular injury in 99.7%. Conservative management was implemented in 64.7% (95%) of patients. Absence of neurological lesion (95.6%) and closed lesion (99.4%) were the main epidemiological characteristics of patients in the study. A low complication rate was observed, with reduction losses in 1.7% of patients, followed by infections in 1.1%.
We can conclude that the cases studied presented epidemiological characteristics similar to those described in the literature.
分析肱骨远端骨折患儿的流行病学特征。
采用回顾性研究方法进行分析性描述性研究,使用了2012年6月至2016年12月期间在圣卡塔琳娜州茹安维尔市的参考医院——热塞尔·阿马拉兰特·法里亚儿童医院就诊的665名骨科患儿的病历。
结果显示男性患者占主导(64.2%),平均年龄为7岁,6至10岁年龄组最为常见,有319例患者(48%)。主要创伤机制是59.7%的患者因高处坠落受伤,57.1%为Gartland 1型骨折,99.7%无血管损伤。64.7%(95%)的患者采用保守治疗。无神经损伤(95.6%)和闭合性损伤(99.4%)是该研究中患者的主要流行病学特征。观察到并发症发生率较低,1.7%的患者出现复位丢失,其次是1.1%的患者发生感染。
我们可以得出结论,所研究的病例呈现出与文献中描述相似的流行病学特征。
