Summary

This study details scaphoid (wrist bone) fracture rates in a Danish population. Males experience significantly higher fracture incidence than females, with mid-scaphoid fractures being most common.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic epidemiology
  • Trauma research
  • Wrist biomechanics

Context:

  • Scaphoid fractures are common wrist injuries, but population-based incidence data can vary.
  • Understanding fracture patterns is crucial for effective treatment and prevention strategies.
  • This study analyzes a comprehensive dataset from a defined Danish municipality.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence, location, and type of scaphoid fractures in a well-defined population.
  • To provide accurate epidemiological data on scaphoid fractures for males and females.
  • To analyze fracture incidence based on anatomical location and fracture classification.

Summary:

  • A seven-year study identified 442 scaphoid fractures in the Odense Municipality.
  • Annual incidence rates were 38/100,000 for males and 8/100,000 for females.
  • Middle scaphoid fractures (15/100,000) were most frequent, followed by distal (6/100,000) and proximal (2/100,000).
  • Transverse and horizontal oblique fractures were the most common types.

Impact:

  • Provides essential epidemiological data for public health planning and resource allocation in trauma care.
  • Informs clinical decision-making regarding diagnosis and management of scaphoid fractures.
  • Contributes to a better understanding of the biomechanics and injury patterns of the scaphoid bone.
