ABSTRACT
Objective: To study Prevalence/Trend of bone fractures in road traffic accidents.
Study Design: Observational Study
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Idris Teaching Hospital Sialkot Medical College Sialkot from Jan 2009 to Jan 2019.
Materials and Methods: This Study was conducted on 1366 victim of road traffic accidents. The age, gender and bone involved was noted down.

At the age of 65-70 there were 08(0.58%) male and 02(0.14%) female. Above 70 there were 06(0.44%) male and 01(0.07%) female. There were total 1145(83.8%) male and 221(16.2%) female. There was femur fracture in male patients at proximal 81(4.73%), shaft of femur 267(15.61%) , distal part of femur 31(1.81%) and in female patients proximal part 06(0.35%), Shaft of femur 42(2.46%), at distal part of femur 03(0.18%). There was Tibia/fibula fracture in male at proximal part 85(4.97%), shaft part 301(17.60%), distal part 72 (4.21%) and in female patients proximal part 06(0.35%) ,shaft part 56(3.27%) , distal part 05 (0.29%). There was humerus fracture in male patients at proximal part 18(1.05%), shaft 107 (6.25%), distal part 14(0.82%). In female patients 04(0.23%) ,shaft part 21 (1.23%), distal part 03(0.17%).
There was fracture of radiusulna 246(14.38%) in male patients and 56(3.27%) in female patients. There was pelvis fracture 27(1.57%) in male patients and 12(0.70%) in female patients. There was clavicle fracture in 63(3.68%) male patients and 17(0.99%) female patients. Handfeet bone fracture 134(7.83%) in male, 33(1.92%) in female.
