Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to anatomically examine the fractures of the humerus, radius and ulna, which have a significant admission rate in emergency departments, and to explain the relationship between different fracture parameters. The anatomical distribution of humerus, radius and ulna fractures in 239 patients who presented to xxx University Hospital between 2012 and 2018 were retrospectively investigated. Participants were between the ages of 18-64 years and were diagnosed with a fracture in only one bone. It has been found that fractures are more common in men and in the 18-44 age group (p<0.01). While falls are the most common cause of radius fractures, humerus fractures occur more frequently as a result of traffic accidents (p<0.01) While distal fractures were more common in the radius, coprus fractures were more common in the humerus (p<0.01). Surgical intervention was high in the treatment of humeral fractures, but lower in radius fractures (p<0.01). Surgical intervention was found to be more frequent in the treatment of corpus fractures, while surgical intervention was found to be less frequent in distal fractures (p<0.01). The distribution of upper extremity fractures of the humerus, radius and ulna in the emergency department varies according to sex, age group, type of trauma, surgical intervention and anatomical localisation.
