Description: Objectives: We investigated the frequency and distribution of childhood fractures seen at the emergency service of Tepecik Education and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey
Conclusion: In our area, child fractures generally result from falls in summer and spring months and at play hours and are generally treated with conservative methods. Distal radius fractures are the most frequent.
