ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
There are insufficient researches about the causes and the actual condition of fracture in Hansen's disease. Hence, I would like to indicate the problem by analysing the actual condition of fractures in Sorocdo Hansen's disease and a link between electromotion scooter and fracture. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Object is 75 patients who were admitted at Sorocdo National Hospital due to fracture from 2003, January to 2006, December. The medical record was analysed by retrospectively. Patient's general feature and the feature related to accident were analysed. Moreover, use of electromotion scooter and the relation between them were researched.RESULTS:
The proportion of males to females is 1.411. Average age is 73.6 and over 65 years old shows 78.7%(59 persons) which means fracture happens frequently at old age. Predominant percentage of fracture is occurred at summer(34.7%) and autumn(33.4%). In addiction, the number of fracture patients is increased surprisingly since electromotion wheelchair and scooter were introduced in 2005. Hip joint fracture(34.7%) and distal radius fracture (16.0%) are the main region. The major reasonsof fracture are falls(52.2%) and accidents related to electromotion scooter(17.9%). The mortality of patients who were treated surgically(4.9%) is meaningfully lower than that who received conservated treatment(23.5%).CONCLUSION:
The aged population and the number of electromotion scooter are been increasing in Sorocdo. Therefore, We need to find the fundamental and specific measure to prevent fracture caused by falls and electromotion scooter accident. Furthermore, surgical treatment is required actively.Key words
