The average age of study group was 9.9+/-4.7 years; 273 fractures (53 %) were on the left, 242 (47 %) were on the right. A fall was the main cause of the injury in most of the cases (80%). The forearm was the most commonly seen fracture site. Summer was the season when the fracture incidence was the highest. Highest surgical treatment rate (50%) was seen in supracondylar humerus fractures. It has been stated in the literature that non-physeal fractures are far more common than physeal fractures, We assume that this study not only will help understanding of the injury patterns of single segment :non-physeal fractures in children but also, be a base for future studies in prevention and treatment of this type of fracture.en10.1007/s002640050388info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[No Keywords]Article236345347Q4WOS:0000859656000092-s2.0-003339175410741520Q1
