dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: The epidemiology of adult fractures has been changing timely, in a multifactorial fashion. The aim of this study was to put forward a recent 5-year epidemiological analysis of adult fractures, according to the current AO/OTA fracture classification, in the current decade of action for road safety. METHODS: 5324 adult patients who were diagnosed with at least one fracture related with orthopedics and traumatology in a level-one trauma center were included in this retrospective, epidemiological descriptive study. The patients were grouped according to their ages as; 18-35, 36-55, 56-69, and >= 70. The fractures were examined according to the AO/OTA classification. RESULTS: 5865 fractures were present in 5324 patients. The mean age of the patients was 48.6 +/- 21.5. The number of patients according to the age groups was as follows; 1947 (36.6%), 1636 (30.7%), 881 (16.5%), and 860 (16.2%), respectively. The most frequent three fractures according to the AO/OTA fracture classification were; 7 (hand 19.6%), 23 (distal forearm, 12.1%), and 8 (foot, 11.8%). About 54.4% and 45.4% of the patients were treated non-surgically and surgically, respectively. About 0.2% of the patients preferred an alternative treatment. Overall mortality rate was 0.4%. CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first analysis of adult fractures according to the AO/OTA classification, over a 5-year period. As a future prospect, further multi-centric epidemiological studies are warranted to constitute a sustainable action plan for the prevention of major traumas.en_US
