From 2004 to 2018, a total of 97 190 children were examined clinically and 94 180 X-ray films were taken in Gansu Province. Four hundred and twenty-eight clinical positive cases were detected, with a detection rate of 0.44%. There were 649 X-ray positive cases, and the detection rate was 0.69%. There were 435 metaphyseal positive cases, the detection rate was 0.46%. There were 214 positive cases of bone end, and the detection rate was 0.23%. The clinical positive rate was the highest (7.17%, 58/809) in 2004, followed by 2007 (4.60%, 51/1 109) and 2005 (4.48%, 187/4 173), and the positive rate in other years was less than 3%. The positive rate of X-ray was the highest (9.59%, 58/605) in 2004, followed by 2005 (5.10%, 213/4 173), 2008 (3.66%, 45/1 228) and 2006 (3.04%, 125/4 107), the positive rate of other years was less than 3%.Conclusions:
