Abstract

Aim: To determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who presented to our emergency department with orthopedic injuries due to winter sports. Material and Method: This study was retrospectively conducted in the winter seasons between 2018 and 2020. The patients’ age, gender, orthopedic injury localization, treatment applied for the injury, and injury patterns were examined. The findings obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: In this study, a total of 881 patients, 311 (35.4%) female and 570 (64.6%) male, were evaluated. According to orthopedic localization, most patients (n=255, 28.6%) had knee injuries. Soft tissue trauma was detected in 519 (58.9%) of the patients. The knee injuries did not significantly differ according to gender (p=0.852). Conclusion: During winter sports, injuries occur mostly in the lower extremity and knee area. Injuries related to winter sports can be reduced with the use of appropriate winter sports equipment and ski training.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kış sporları nedeni ile ortopedik yaralanması olup acil servisimize başvuran hastaların demografik ve klinik özelliklerini belirlemeyi amaçladık. Material Method: Bu çalışma 2018-2020 tarihleri arasında kış sezonunda retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, ortopedik yaralanma bölgesi, yaralanmasına yönelik tedavileri, yaralanma şekilleri incelendi. Elde edilen bulgular istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda n:311 (35.4%) kadın ve n:570 (64.6%) erkek hasta olmak üzere toplam 881 hasta değerlendirildi. Ortopedik lokalizasyonuna göre hastalarda 255(%28.6)’, en fazla diz yaralanması tespit edildi. Hastaların 519 (%58.9)’una yumuşak doku travması tanısı konuldu. Diz yaralanmasının cinsiyetlere göre farkı yoktu (p=0.852). Sonuç: Kış sporu yaralanmalarında en fazla alt ektremite ve diz bölgesinde yaralanma olmaktadır. Uygun kış sporu ekipmanlarının kullanılması ve kayak eğitimlerinin alınması ile kış sporlarında yaralanmaları azaltabiliriz.
