Abstract

Introduction: Fractures in children cause a long-term disability and decrease the quality of life in every person involved. Factors that affect fracture incidence must be identified so that we can create prevention management. This study evaluates children's fracture patterns in Saiful Anwar General Hospital Malang from January 2016 until August 2020.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among children under 18 years old by analyzing patients' medical records.  The characteristics of patients and fractures are reviewed using SPSS version 25 for Windows.

Results: We analyze 774 children as the sample study, with 70% of them being boys. Fractures mainly occur in the 12-18 years old group (92.8%). Most of them are caused by traffic accidents (58%). Consequently, the street (76.9%) is the most frequent place of trauma. Closed fractures (70%) are the most common type, and distal radius or ulna (21.2%) is the fracture's most frequent site. For treatment, the majority of patients have undergone closed reduction and casting (21.7%).

Conclusion: Fractures in children occur predominantly in boys and result from traffic accidents. A single and close fracture is the most common type of fracture.
