Journal Title: Indian journal of applied basic medical sciences - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 31
Abstract
Aims and Objective: 1. Collect data of tibia fractures at VS General Hospital. 2. Demographic distribution of tibia fracture. 3. Correlate and elaborate various aspects like cause and management. Background: Epidemiologic differences in the site and type of fractures within different populations arise due to inherent differences in the populations, their culture practices and lifestyles. Through this study, we aim to provide data that may help to update the demographic information of patients that are diagnosed with tibial fractures in terms of the frequency of such injuries, mechanism of injury, fracture patterns and sites and the surgical procedure involved in their care. Materials And Methods: This study is designed as a retrospective observational study of 100 patients who were diagnosed with tibial fractures between February and July, 2017. Results: Most of our patients were young male adults, with ages between 21 and 40 years. RTA was the most common cause of fracture. Evening was the most common time of the day followed by afternoon, during which patients were brought in. Isolated fractures were more common than polytrauma. Maximum patients had fracture in midshaft region of closed variety and were managed operatively. Inference And Conclusion: Tibia fracture is most common in young male patients who are more involved in motor vehicle activities. There seem to be a major dominance of RTA at evening which appears to have increased traffic activity.
