Musculoskeletal injuries in children are a common cause of 25% of children hospitalization. Previous research stated that five pediatric fractures had significant long-term consequences such as disability and activity restriction. In Indonesia, epidemiology studies have discussed the incidence of fracture in general sites, but only a few reported lower limb fractures. The authors expect this research to be used for lower extremities fractures in children’s epidemiologic descriptions. Between January 2016 until September 2020, we included 247 children under 18 years old based on inclusion criteria. The prevalence and fractures were reviewed for detail, such as sex, age, mechanism of injury, location of the fracture, and treatment. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Most common injuries occur at 13-18 years old with 164 children (66.4%). Most of them were caused by traffic accidents, 210 cases (85.0%). Consequently, femur fractures are the most common fractures due to traffic accidents 53.8% (p<0.005). From common fracture sites in this study, plating is the common to use procedure than the others (52.3%). Therefore, we can conclude that MVA were the most common injury in children, and especially for fracture femur relevant with increasing age and plating methods is common to use method for this fracture
