Aim: In this study, it is aimed to retrospectively examine the files of patients who applied to the Inonu University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Forensic Medicine Polyclinic between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2022 and discuss them in the light of the literature.
Materials and Methods: 570 disability files that came to our polyclinic between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2022 were included in our study. Data regarding the gender of the cases, their age at the time of the incident, the season in which the incident occurred, the localization of the injury, which bone was broken, which bones were broken more according to age, and the provisions of which regulations evaluated the disability rate, were scanned electronically. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 22 program.
Results: It was observed that 77% of the cases were adults (18-65 years old), 64.6% were men and 35.4% were women. It was observed that the most incidents occurred in the summer months and the least incidents occurred in the winter months. When bone fractures are examined by age groups, children most often survive the events without fractures. Vertebra and tibia-fibula fractures were most common in adults between the ages of 18-65. It was observed that vertebral fractures were more common in cases over the age of 65.
Conclusion: In the light of these data, we concluded that safety precautions should be taken by examining age and seasonal differences, and that physicians who intervene after the accident should direct their suspicions by knowing the possibilities.
