The authors retrospectively analyzed the database of the health insurance review and assessment service regarding children and adolescents under 20 years old treated from 2008 to 2010. Newly registered numbers of fractures in children and adolescents according to sex, month, institution, and anatomical location were also reviewed.RESULTS:
A total of 1,893,416 fractures occurred during three years; approximately 630,000 cases were treated during one year (approximately 562 cases among 10,000 people during one year). During one year, the most fractures occurred in June and the least in February. Senior general hospital consisted of 5.72%, 12.30% in general hospital, 19.28% in hospital, and 62.70% in clinics. Among the fracture sites, 0.05% were cervical fractures, 0.91% in sternum and thoracic vertebra, 1.35% in lumbar vertebra and pelvis, 12.79% in shoulder and upper extremities, 26.87% in lower extremities, 38.10% in wrist and hand, 1.01% in femur, 10.40% in lower extremities including ankle, and 8.52% in foot excluding ankle.
