RESUMO
Over a 1-year period the mode of fracture of the long bones of children's upper limbs was analysed. There were 277 fractures and 4 dislocations recorded. The most common fractures were of the distal radius and ulna. Most injuries were due to falls from a low height but those from a high fall necessitated hospital admission most frequently. Preventative measures are discussed.
