“…Most clinical descriptions relate to various injuries caused by accidents, including fractures of the lower leg (tibia, fibula), clavicle, ribs, forearm, and hip fractures (especially femoral neck) (Ortner & Putschar, 1985). Studies show that ribs, tibia, radius, clavicle, and ulna are respectively the bones commonly broken in accidents (Amponsah & Gorleku, 2015). Such injuries are also observed in ancient human populations.…”

The subject of the study is the demographic analysis and traumas of the people who lived during the Middle Bronze Age Assyrian Trade Colonies Period, excavated from Kültepe on the Central Anatolian plateau. A total of 61 individuals were identified from the examined human skeletal remains, including 25 males, 24 females, 6 individuals of undetermined gender, and 6 children and adolescents. Various traumas were detected on the skeletal remains of these individuals. After analyzing the distribution of traumas based on age and gender, the types of these traumas were explained. Comparisons were made with other societies that existed in Anatolia during the same period. While various traumas caused by violence were encountered in other societies, it is understood that the traumas observed in the population of Kültepe were mainly the result of accidents, falls, and occupational incidents. It is stated that the inhabitants of Kültepe consisted of various ethnic communities. Archaeological studies indicate that the residents of Kültepe, comprised of multiple ethnic groups, lived in accordance with the laws and rules established by the regional authorities. The results obtained from human skeletal remains support these archaeological results.

Introduction; The most common thoracic injuries were rib fractures (40%) and simple lung contusions (35%) and the abdominal organs most commonly injured were the spleen (35%), liver (25%), and kidney (20%). Mortality varies from 3-22%. the thoracic-abdominal injuries, Purpose; Evidence of the role of thoracic trauma in intraabdominal injuries. Evaluation of correlation between rib fractures and intra-abdominal organ injuries after Blunt Chest Trauma; Materials and methods; The study has a retrospective character, conducted within the period of December 2017 - June 2019. In our study, 890 patients were included in the Emergency Department at University Hospital of Trauma, Tirana, Albania. The population sample was selected randomly without any study restrictions. Results; Our study includes 890 patients; distribution of gender-based was: 196 (22%) females and 694 (78%) males. The distribution based on age: 116 (13 %); for <14 years old group; 347 (39%); for 14-40 years old; 427 (48%).for >40 years old. Conclusions; In Blunt Chest trauma, the incidence of intraabdominal organ injuries is high as evidenced by our study. All patients with such injuries should be evaluated and evaluated until the possibility of such intra-abdominal damage is ruled out. Also, intra-abdominal injuries in multiple rib fractures patients with more than 6 fractures show high gravity, full inspection and observation must be achieved to prepare for possible emergency surgery or other treatment options.

“…Unfortunately, despite the adverse impact and burden of accident especially in LMICs, not many studies have been conducted in Ghana to investigate the subject, particularly regarding mediums by which accidents occur. The few studies [7][8][9][10][11] available in Ghana have mainly focused on RTAs except the work by Mock et al [5] which focused beyond RTA. However, Mock et al [5] study was undertaken almost two decades ago.…”

“…With the studies referred earlier [7][8][9][10][11] to be limited to RTAs the sources of data for those studies were predominantly from police records, and few using hospital A&E records. Typically, many Ghanaian accident victims do not readily attend hospitals or police stations, except when incidence is life-threatening, or police report is most likely to provide a more representative data on accident victims since its records captures patients of both formal and informal setups.…”

The purpose of this study is to report the various mediums and demographic characteristics of accident patients who underwent plain radiograph examinations at the Tamale Regional Hospital (TRH) X-Ray Unit. Material and methods:This is a retrospective record analysis of radiology request forms (RRFs) of patients who attended the TRH X-Ray facility due to histories of accidents such as RTA, falls, birth injury, and etcetera. A total of 444 RRFs were analysed, covering a one year period (October 2017 to October 2018). Data was processed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0.Results: Analysis of the 444 forms and outcome are as follows. Accident due to motorcycle accounted for 71.3% of patients' attendance. Falls, other motor vehicles, sports, foreign body ingestion, assault/robbery, gunshot/stabbing, birth injury, suicide, and snake bite occurred at 12.8%, 5.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 0.7%, 0.5%, 1.6%, 0.2%, and 0.2% respectively. Other mediums contributed 2.3%. In terms of gender males constituted 65.0% and females 35.0%.Patients between 18 and 45 years had the most accident encounters. Conclusion:Motorcycle is the leading mode of accident in the Northern Region, influencing the foremost accidentrelated reason for plain X-Ray services. Preventive education must particularly target males and those in the most youthful age brackets.
