Sex-related epidemiological study of 1395 cases of simple unilateral adult patella fractures
Objective To investigate and analyze the sex-related epidemiological characteristics of simple unilateral patellar fracture in adults.Methods A total of 1395 patients with simple unilateral adult patella fracture who were admitted for surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2023 were studied.The gender,age,type of violent injury,side of injury and time distribution were collected and statistically analyzed.Results There were 808 female and 587 male patients,and the percentage of female patients was significantly higher than that of male patients(P<0.05).There were significant differences in the proportion of male and female patients in each age group(P<0.05).Males had significantly higher incidence rate than females in the 16-45 age group,and females had significantly higher incidence rate than males in the 46-70 age group(P<0.05).The patients'left and right side injuries were 805 cases and 590 cases,respectively.The proportion of left side incidence was higher than that of the right side for both male and female patients.The proportion of females was significantly higher than that of males in patients with left side injuries(P<0.05).The number of patients with low-energy and high-energy injuries was 1168 and 227 cases,respectively.The incidence rate of low-energy injuries was higher than that of high-energy injuries for both male and female patients.The percentage of low-energy injuries for female patients was significantly higher than that for male patients(P<0.05).The percentage of high-energy injuries for male patients was significantly higher than that for female patients(P<0.05).There were significant differences between the number of male and female patients in the distribution of injury time(P<0.05).Female patients'injuries occurred more often in January-February and July-October.Conclusions Simple unilateral adult patella fractures occur most often in perimenopausal and postmenopausal middle-aged and elderly female patients,with low-energy injuries such as falls and slips predominating.The incidence of left-side injury is higher than that of right-side injury for both males and females.The incidence of injury is higher for female patients during cold and rainy months.
