RESUMO Independentemente da natureza dos acidentes que ocorrem diariamente, as consequências frequentemente exigem reabilitação especializada. Este estudo pretende verificar qual setor de fisioterapia ambulatorial de um instituto de ortopedia e traumatologia apresenta maior prevalência de fichas de encaminhamento para atendimento. Além disso, pretende verificar qual gênero predomina e qual é a relação entre as faixas etárias e os setores de fisioterapia ambulatorial de um hospital de referência da cidade de São Paulo. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo realizado entre março e dezembro de 2016 com uma amostra de 1507 fichas de encaminhamento ao Ambulatório de Fisioterapia do Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumatologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. O estudo mostrou que o setor Trauma em Fisioterapia Ambulatorial apresenta maior quantidade de fichas de encaminhamento, que o gênero masculino foi predominante e que há uma correspondência das relações entre diferentes faixas etárias e os setores de Fisioterapia Ambulatorial.

Background: Rapid urbanization and increasing fleet in low-income countries are the basis of the higher rate of trauma and fractures. In a post conflict environment, the abnormal movement of firearms and poverty from them may change the configuration's epidemiological, anatomical and clinical fractures of the limbs bones as well as their care. Goal: To make an inventory on the fractures of the limb bones in Bukavu town, a town in post armed conflict. Method: This work is transversal, retrospective and descriptive on 500 fractures of the limbs bones recorded on a period of 3 months from 1 st June to 31 st August 2013. Twenty investigators went around different places of Bukavu town to interview and complete a research protocol ad hoc. In total, we recorded 500 subjects with 570 fractures of the limb bones. Results: The average age is 29.4 years old and 37% are male fractured. The main circumstances of occurrence of the fracture of the limbs bones are the falls (31.7%), firearms (22.2%) followed closely by road traffic accidents (21.9%). Students (38.6%) and the unemployed (29.4%) are most victims' fractures of limb bones. The forearm bones (31.7%) and leg bones (27.2%) are most concerned, 52.2% fractured turned to modern medicine against 41.8% for traditional medicine. Conclusion: The fractures of the limbs bones in Bukavu mainly concern young male subjects. They occur with the waning of a fall and preferentially affect the bones of the forearm. Good governance would reduce the incidence of fractures of the limbs bones and their assessment.

BackgroundEpidemiology of cervical spine fractures (CSfx) in trauma patients of general population is not yet exclusively known.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of CSfx in trauma patients.Patients and MethodsData from trauma patients admitted in the emergency room (ER) of Shiraz Shahid Rajaei hospital during the 3.5 years period from September 22, 2009 to March 21, 2013, were gathered. All trauma patients with CSfx and/or spinal cord injuries were included in the study. The time of the trauma, mechanism of trauma, injury position, and incidence of cervical spine fractures in the patients were recorded.ResultsA total of 469 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age of the patients was 34.7 years old, with a minimum age of 16 years old and a maximum age of 89 years old. Young adults were most frequently affected. Out of 469 cases, 368 patients (78.47%) were male and 101 (21.53%) were female. We had a total of 17 SCI cases among our patients (3.62%), out of which 5 (29.41%) were deceased. The total number of deaths in our study was 29 (6.18%); 5 (17.24%) with SCI and 24 (82.76%) without SCI.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that most victims of CSfx in our region are 16 to 40 years of age. A male predominance was observed, and motor vehicle collisions were the most frequent trauma mechanism leading to cervical spine injury (mostly due to car rollover accidents), with falls as the second most frequent. The rate of SCI in our study was 3.62% of all cases and the mortality rate was 6.18%.
