Abstract:
Objective To compare and analyze the epidemiological features of adult patients with scapular fracture between eastern and western areas in China from 2010 to 2011. Methods The data of adult patients with scapular fracture who had been treated from January 2010 to December 2011 in 63 hospitals in the eastern and western areas in China were collected through the PACS system and case reports checking system. The data from the eastern 35 hospitals were classified as group A and those from the 28 western hospitals as group B. The analytic items included gender, age and AO classification. Results A total of 2, 063 cases were collected. The median age was 44 years ( interquartile range, from 33 to 56 years ) and gender ratio 3. 50:1 in Group A of 1, 376 cases; the median age was 41 years ( interquartile range, from 31 to 51 years ) and gender ratio 3. 09:1 in Group B of 687 cases. There was a significant difference between the 2 groups in median age ( Z= -3. 798, P=0. 000 ) . There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in gender ratio or constituent ratio of fracture peak age ( P > 0. 05 ) . The proportions of patients from 16 to 20 and from 31 to 40 years old in group A were significantly lower than in group B ( P <0. 05 ) . The proportion of middle-aged patients was significantly higher and that of young patients significantly lower in group A than in group B. The proportion of AO type 14-A fractures in group A ( 66. 49％) was significantly higher than in group B ( 55. 60％) while the proportion of AO type 14-C fractures was significantly lower ( 21. 37％) in group A than in group B ( 29. 55％) . Conclusions Most scapular fractures occurred in male patients. The proportion of young patients in the eastern area was lower than in the western area, but the proportion of middle-aged patients was higher in the eastern area than in the western area. The proportion of AO type 14-A fractures in the eastern area was significantly higher than in the western area while the proportion of AO type 14-C fractures in the eastern area significantly lower than in the western area.
