    (1) The study analyzed 72 cases of acute distal radius fractures treated at Hasan Sadikin Hospital from January 2004 to December 2008. (2) Most cases were men (72.2%) and resulted from traffic accidents (62.5%). (3) Ages ranged from younger than 10 to older than 50 years old, with the highest number of cases being ages 30-40 years old (27.7%). (4) The majority of fractures (88.9%) were accompanied by distal ulna fractures. (5) More than half of patients (54.2%) chose traditional rather than hospital treatment due to low community awareness.

    ABSTRACT

    CHARACTERISTIC DISTAL END RADIUS FRACTURE

    Background : Distal radius fractures are very common. In fact, the radius is the
    most commonly broken bone in the arm. The break usually
    happens in traffic accident, and similar situations like a simple
    falls, known as FOOSH” (fall onto outstretched hands).
    Osteoporosis (decreased density of the bones) can make a
    relatively minor fall result in a broken wrist. Many distal radius
    fractures in people older than 50 years of age are caused by a fall
    from a standing position.

    Method : During January 2004 until December 2008, 72 persons with acute
    distal radius fracture were recorded and we analysis with
    retrospectif method.

    Results : 72 persons recorded with among the case insidence rate on man
    increase rapidly from 52 cases (72.2%) than woman on 20 cases
    (33.3%). 2 cases on age younger than 10 years (2.7%), 15 cases on
    age 10-20 years (20.8%), 18 cases on age 20-30 years (25%), 20
    cases on age 30-40 years (27.7%), 6 cases between 40-50 years
    (8.3%), 11 cases on age older than 50 years (15.2%). 45 cases
    recorded as a traffic accident (62.5%), 22 cases come from
    workplace accident (30.5%), 5 cases recorded by the minor injury
    (6.9%). 8 cases is purely the distal radius fracture (11.1%), and 64
    cases is accompanied with distal ulna fracture (88.9%). 18 cases
    direcly get therapy at 6 hours after the injury (25%), 42 cases get
    more longer than 6 hours to get therapy (75%). 33 cases get
    treatment at the hospital (45.8%), and 39 cases decide to get
    traditional treatment (54.2%).

    Conclusion : More cases recorded increas on man than a woman, cases


    accompanied with traffic accident and the relation with
    mobilitation pruductivity. The traditional treatment have a higher
    numbers as a final decided to treat this case because of minimally
    awareness among the community
