Abstrakt: This study aims to describe the epidemiology of hand injuries in pediatric patients undergoing surgical treatment. A retrospective analysis of patients with traumatic hand injuries surgically treated over a 7-year period. A total of 155 patients were included. Fracture was the most common injury type (74.8%), most of which were open (54.3%). Incidence of articular fractures increased with age. The predominant mechanism of injury before age 10 was crush. In toddlers, only central digits were affected. Good functional results were achieved (Quick-DASH 1.37 ± 4.90). The incidence of hand injuries requiring surgery increased with age. The mechanism and segment affected varied with age groups. Although good functional results are expected, complications may occur 33% and secondary surgical procedures in 7.7%.
