Abstract
Extermity fractures are fractures that occur
in the clavicula, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpal, metacarpal, phalanx.
These fractures generally occur in men of productive age, but can also occur in
women. However, data regarding upper extremity fractures in Indonesia,
especially in Gianyar, is still difficult to find. Thus, this study aims to
determine the characteristics of upper extremity fractures at the Aricanti
Emergency Room in Gianyar. This study is a retrospective descriptive study
using medical record data with total sampling technique. The data obtained
according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were 194 patients analysed
with SPSS version 26. This study shows 63.9% of patients are male. The majority
of patients aged 17-25 years (18.56%) The most common type of fracture was
closed fracture (84.1%). Most patients were managed non-operatively (50.4%).
The most common mechanism of fracture was high energy injury (94.8%). The most
common fracture location was the radius in 55 cases (28.5%). Most of the
characteristics of upper extremity fracture patients in the Emergency
Department of Aricanti Hospital are male, 26-35 years old, closed fracture
type, operative management, high energy injury fracture mechanism, and the most
common fracture location at the radius.
