RESUMO

Introdução:

As fraturas da tíbia são comuns. Muitas necessitam tratamento conservador. O trabalho tem como objetivo verificar o perfil epidemiológico das fraturas de tíbia tratadas cirurgicamente.

Metodologia:

Estudo descritivo transversal através da avaliação epidemiológica em prontuários de 50 pacientes operados no Hospital Independência no período de 5 anos.

Resultados:

Dos 50 pacientes, 39 (78%) eram do sexo masculino e 11(22%), do feminino. Quanto à idade, observamos que há mais fraturas em pacientes entre 26 e 36 anos (30%). A idade média dos pacientes foi de 37,4 anos, com um desvio-padrão de 14,8 anos. Não houve diferença significativa quando analisamos a idade média entre os sexos. Podemos constatar também que os pacientes operados por fratura de tíbia eram em sua maioria solteiros (52%). Em relação à cor do paciente, observamos que houve prevalência em pacientes da cor negra (50%).

Conclusão:

As fraturas de tíbia, tratadas cirurgicamente no Hospital Independência entre 2001 e 2005, foram mais frequentes em pacientes jovens e com trauma de alta energia.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Tibia fractures are common and often require conservative treatment. This work was designed to determine the epidemiological profile of the fractures of the tibia treated surgically.

Methods:

A descriptive, transversal study carried out through the epidemiological evaluation of the medical records of 50 patients operated in a 5-year period.

Results:

Of the 50 patients, 39 (78%) were males and 11 (22%) were females. As for age, it was found that there were more fractures in the 26-36 years bracket (30%). Patient mean age was 37.4 years with a standard deviation of 14.8 years. There was no significant gender difference as the mean age was analyzed. Most of the patients (52%) were single. Also, there was a prevalence of black patients (50%).

Conclusion:

The tibia fractures treated surgically in the Independência Hospital from 2001 to 2005 were more frequent in patients who were young and had highenergy trauma.
