Retrospective Evaluation of Disability Reports Received to İnönü University Faculty of Medicine Department of Forensic Medicine Polyclinic in 2022 Abstract Objective In this study, the files of the patients who applied to the Inonu University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Forensic Medicine Polyclinic between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and their age, gender, season of the event, body region, bone fractures, bone It is aimed to examine the correlation of the fractures with the age range and by which regulation provisions are reported, and to discuss the results in the light of the literature. Materials and Methods: 570 disability files that came to our polyclinic between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2022 upon court request or personal request were included in our study. Data on the sex of the cases, age at the time of the incident, the season of the incident, the localization of the injury, which bone fracture occurred, which bones were broken more often than age, and which regulations were evaluated according to the disability rate were scanned electronically. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 22 program. Results It was observed that 77% of the cases were adults (18-65), 64.6% were men, and 35.4% were women. It was seen that the incidents took place mostly in summer and least in winter. When bone fractures are examined according to age group, children survived the event mostly without fracture, secondly with tibia-fibula fractures, It was observed that vertebral fractures were the most common in adults, tibia-fibula fractures were the second most common, and vertebral fractures were the most common in cases over 65 years of age. Conclusion It was thought that the reason why most of the cases were adult-male was that the drivers, especially in traffic accidents, were men over the age of 18. It was understood that the least number of cases occurred in the winter season, as the number of inter-city trips decreased and out-of-home activities decreased during the winter season. While children survived the accidents mostly without fractures, it was observed that vertebral fractures increased with increasing age. Due to the higher incidence of osteoporosis in geriatric patients, the possibility of trauma-induced bone fracture was thought to increase. In the light of these data, we came to the conclusion that safety measures should be taken by examining age and seasonal differences before an accident, and that physicians who intervene after an accident should direct their suspicions by knowing the possibilities.
