Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
PURPOSE: - To study the epidemiology of hand surgery cases in Indian scenario. METHODS: - Retrospective study of hand surgery cases operated in the year 2015-2016 at a tertiary centre in India and the cases were further sub classified into 9 types and the age and sex distribution was estimated. RESULTS: - A total of 2060 cases were operated in the year 2015-2016, which were sub classified into 9 categories. Fracture fixation and tendon injuries alone constituted around 55% of cases followed by nerve affections, plastic procedures, deformity correction, tumors, congenital anomalies, miscellaneous cases and infections. Hand injuries and affections mostly inflicted socio - economic morbidity to the youngest population (up to 96% patients were <60 years) and 77.98% were males. CONCLUSION: - The study clearly underlines the importance and need of delivery of adequate hand surgery services in a developing country like India to mitigate the social and economic effects of hand affections.
