[Injuries during adolescence]
Abstract:
The incidence of injuries reaches the highest level in the adolescent age-group, as proved also in our survey of accidents in a period of one year in County Vas, Hungary. The incidence is extremely high in boys: 241 per 1000 heads of this age-group while no increase can be observed in girls due to an earlier puberty. The risk-rate of boys appears high at every type of injuries even at those that were caused intended or in an intoxicated state. As to the rest of indices the age-group of adolescents shows a transition between the childhood and the adult age, meanwhile the injuries of the adolescents stay nearer to those of the young adults.

The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
