Objetivo: descrever o perfil dos pacientes atendidos na enfermaria de traumato-ortopedia de um hospital público de referência para atendimento em trauma no estado da Bahia. Métodos: Estudo transversal, no qual foram coletadas informações dos prontuários dos pacientes no período de julho a dezembro de 2008. Resultados: o perfil dos pacientes estudados foi formado por indivíduos majoritariamente do sexo masculino, jovens, vítimas de traumas por acidentes, com destaque para aqueles envolvidos com motocicletas e atropelamentos. Já os traumas associados com a violência mais frequentes foram as perfurações por arma de fogo e por arma branca. A principal lesão apresentada por esses indivíduos foi fratura exposta do fêmur sendo o fixador externo o tratamento mais utilizado. A complicação intra--hospitalar que mais acometeu esses indivíduos foi a infecção da ferida com necessidade de reabordagem cirúrgica. A maioria dos pacientes internados receberam alta hospitalar e um óbito foi registrado nesse período. Conclusão: o perfil traçado no presente estudo corrobora com pesquisas realizadas em outras instituições do país, o que pode contribuir para um direcionamento das políticas públicas para prevenção dos acidentes e violências. Nível de Evidência IV, Série de Casos.
