Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of patients with fracture admitted in oriental hospital. Methods : From october 1996 to october 2001, we retrospectively evaluated the simple radiographic proven 8441 patients with musculoskeletal pain in oriental hospital. The patients included 3899 men and 4542 women. All fractures were analyzed in terms of location, age and sex. Results : 1. The fracture rate of radiologic study was relatively high in foot, chest, upper extremity and hand. The frequent fractures were in spine (257 cases), foot (119 cases), upper extremity (83 cases). and chest (68 cases). 2. The male patients with fracture were significantly higher than female in 0-40 years group: in 0-20 years group(8.5 % vs 4.0 %, p<0.01), in 21-40 years group (4.1 % vs 2.6, p<0.05), while female patients with fracture were significantly higher than male patients in more than 60 years group( 10.1 % vs 15.4 %, p<0.01). 3. The incidence of fracture showed significant association with increased age except 0-20 years group(p<0.01). Spine and chest cage in mate, and upper extremity, pelvis, spine, ankle and chest cage in female were significantly higher on older age groups. Conclusion : The overall fracture rate of radiologic study was 6.6 % for patients with musculoskeletal problem admitted in oriental hospital. The distribution of fracture showed significant difference in terms of age, sex and site. So we believe the radiologic study is helpful to evaluate fracture in oriental hospital.
