In the present study, bone fracture cases that were presented to the Emergency Department of Mustafa Kemal University Tayfur Ata Sökmen Medical Faculty between October 2007 and October 2008 were examined. Anatomical localization and the type of the fractures, and their distribution among age groups and etiological factors were investigated. Besides, additional risk factors like trauma, violence witin the family, and accompanying disease were also asked. Fracture rates were higher in males (61.3 %) than females (38.7 %). Fracture rate in adults was % 63, whereas it was 37 % in children. Upper extremity fractures were common in children but lower extremity fractures were seen more frequently in adults. Most injured bones were radius, humerus and ulna in children and femur in adults. Fall from height, traffic accidents and sports injury was leading causes of fractures. We hope that the information obtained in the present study will contribute the studies concerning trauma prevention.
