Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiological features of Galeazzi fractures from 2003 through 2012 in The Third Affiliated Hospital to Hebei Medical University. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of Galeazzi fractures between January 2003 and December 2012 in the Third Affiliated Hospital to Hebei Medical University. The data from 2003 through 2008 were defined as group A and those from 2008 through 2012 as group B. The general information was compared between the 2 groups. The epi-demiological characteristics and trends during the 10 years were analyzed concerning gender, age and fracture type of the patients. Results A total of 153 Galeazzi fractures were recorded, accounting for 0. 81％ of ulnoradial fractures and 0. 12％ of all fractures. There were 109 males and 44 females, with a male/female ratio of 2. 48:1. The age range from 11 to 20 years had the highest constituent ratio ( 22. 22％) and type Ⅱthe highest proportion ( 76. 47％) . There were 74 cases in group A, with a male/female ratio of 2. 22:1. There were 79 cases in group B, with a male/female ratio of 2. 76:1. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups concerning the male/female ratio ( P > 0. 05 ) . The median age for group A was 29 years, significantly younger than that for group B ( 34 years ) ( P <0. 05 ) . The high risk age was from 11 to 20 years in group A (32. 43％) and from 21 to 50 years (22. 78％) in group B. Compared with group A, the constituent ratio of age range from 11 to 20 years in group B was significantly lower and the constituent ratio of age range from 41 to 50 years significantly higher ( P <0. 05 ) . There were no significantly differences between the 2 groups concerning the constituent ratio of each fracture type ( P> 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Galeazzi fractures accounted for 0. 81％ of ulnoradial fractures and 0. 12％ of all fractures. There were more male patients than female ones. The age range from 11 to 20 years and typeⅡhad the highest constituent ratios. Compared with the first 5 years, the latter 5 years witnessed increased mean age.
