Sažetak
Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures in children and account for about 25% of all fractures. The main mechanism of occurrence is a fall on the outstretched hand. These fractures usually occur as a result of accidents, and rarely because of injuries and pathological conditions. In this retrospective study, we analyzed 182 hospital-treated distal radius fractures, of which 61 fractures (29.8%) represent epiphysiolysis. The causes are divided into three groups: fall 124 (68.1%), injuries in traffic 50 (27.5%), and strikes 8 (4.4%). Falls usually occur during sport or game playing 72 (39.6%), and traffic injuries occur during cycling 30 (52%) and roller skating 25 (43%). Children were most often injured in the areas of sports and recreational activities 115 (63%), on the street 38 (21%), and at the school 16 (9%). In our children the highest incidence of distal radius fractures was during sports and recreational activities, and the lowest in school and at home.
