Epidemiological, clinical and radiological characteristics in children under 16 years of age with distal radius fractures in Hospital II-2 Tarapoto 2021-2022. Objective: To identify the epidemiological and radiological clinical characteristics in children under 16 years old with distal radius fractures in Hospital II-2 Tarapoto 2021-2022. Materials and methods: A non-experimental, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 49 patients who presented a distal radius fractures between 2020 and 2021. Results: According to the epidemiological characteristics of the patients, the highest frequency of fractures was found in the age range of 6 to 9 years, in the male sex with 65.3%, the origin was rural with 53.1%, the mechanism of injury was mainly due to falls from level in 44.9% of the cases, the affected side being the right in 51%, the closed fracture was the predominant one with 93.9%, the treatment received was open reduction and the use of percutaneous fixation with 57.1%. Among the clinical characteristics, it was found that pain was present in 95.9% of the patients, followed by deformity of the limb in 77.6% and limitation of movement in 71.4%. Complete fractures predominated with transverse trace in 76.6%. Incomplete fractures usually occurred in children from 2 to 5 years old in 4.1% and physiological fractures were found in Salter Harris I and Salter Harris II in the same percentage of 2%. Conclusions: Within the epidemiological characteristics, the average age of the patients was 7.5 years, predominantly male, from a rural area, the mechanism of injury most frequently seen was level fall on the right side, with closed fractures being the most frequent and the most used treatment being open with percutaneous fixation. Pain, deformity and limitation of movement in descending order are the clinical characteristics most frequently present. Transverse line fractures were the most frequent with 77.6%, compared to green stem and Salter Harris fractures.
