Introduction: Our study aims to reveal the demographic data of ortopedic traumatic patients frequently seen in childhood and the characteristics of the trauma of patients. Methods: In our study, the University of Health Sciences, Reactive Education and Research Hospital Child Emergency Service was applied between 01.01.2016-31.12.2016 and the child was consulted with ortopedian and traumatology in the emergency service, and 117 patients between 0-18 years of age were assessed. The demographic characteristics of the patients, the form of application for emergency service, the form of trauma, the characteristics of the injury occurring, the additional consultations requested from other clinical branches in emergency service, the methods of radiological imaging performed outside the direct graph, the patient’s hospitalization was performed or not. Results: 35.9% of the patients included in our study were girls and the average age of girls was 9,09 (±6,04) years and the average age of men was 11,82 (±5,05) years. The most common injury area was the upper limbs with 52.1%. The number of violent count trauma, cutting-edge instrument injuries and firearm injuries has been observed in advanced ages. 45.3% of patients (n=53) were also consulted in other clinical branches, in addition to the ortopedic and traumatological clinic. When the branches consulted by patients were studied, 38 patients (32.%) were consulted for brain surgery, 28 patients (23.9) were consulted for child surgery, and non-ortopedic and non-traumatological consultations were more consulted for surgical branches. The result: The majority of the legal incidents in the child’s age group that need ortopedic and traumatological consultation in the child’s emergency services are caused by injury, falling from height. Especially after 14 years of age, violent count trauma and cutting-edge instrument injuries appeared to be in the forefront in judicial cases involving the ortopedic and traumatological clinic.
