Epidemiology of fractures in children and adolescents
TLDR
The fracture pattern in a population of youths ≤ 19 years of age, who were seen at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, is presented, finding variations in mechanisms and activities at injury with age, and over time.Abstract:
Background and purpose Fractures are most common in youth and in the elderly, with differences in incidence over time and between regions. We present the fracture pattern in a population of youths ...read more

TL;DR: Pediatric fracture volume has decreased 2.5-fold during the COVID-19 pandemic, partially because of cessation of organized sports and decreased playground use and an observed increase in the prescription of velcro splints for distal radius fractures highlights an opportunity for simplified patient care during the pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
The operative treatment of fractures of the distal radius is increasing: results from a nationwide Swedish study.
TL;DR: In Sweden, there is an increasing tendency to operate on fractures of the distal radius, and the previously reported increase in the use of plating has increased more than threefold over a five-year period.

TL;DR: The distal part of the radius is the most common fracture site in childhood and the fracture rate for snowboarding was four times higher compared with that for other common childhood sport and recreational activities in the authors' region.

Epidemiology and changed surgical treatment methods for fractures of the distal radius: a registry analysis of 42,583 patients in Stockholm County, Sweden, 2004–2010.
TL;DR: The incidence rate of distal radius fractures in postmenopausal women appears to have decreased over the last few decades, and there has been a shift in surgical treatment from external fixation to open reduction and plating.

TL;DR: Age, sex, type of fracture and the circumstances causing the injury were studied in altogether 8,682 fractures in children, aged 0 - 16, which had occurred 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970 and 1975 - 1979.

TL;DR: Fractures were more common among boys than girls, with peak incidences at 14 and 11 years of age, respectively, and at childhood peak, incidence rates were only surpassed later in life at 85 years of life among women and never among men.

The epidemiology of fractures in children
TL;DR: A retrospective study of all paediatric fractures presenting to hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2000 was undertaken and it showed that the incidence of fractures was 20.2/1000/year and that 61% of children's fractures occurred in males.

TL;DR: It is concluded thatLow bone density is more common throughout the skeleton in girls with forearm fractures than in those who have never broken a bone, supporting the view that low bone density may contribute to fracture risk in childhood.

Epidemiology of children's fractures
TL;DR: The results from an epidemiologic study in Malmö indicate that a child's risk of sustaining a fracture is 42% in boys and 27% in girls from birth to age 16 years, and that preventive measures have been effective in decreasing severe accidents.
