摘要

目的:手部和腕部损伤是急诊科(ED)最常见的外伤之一。我们的研究旨在阐明故意冲撞伤患者的人口统计学和临床特征:这项单中心回顾性研究涉及 2023 年因故意冲撞受伤而到急诊科就诊的 16 岁及以上患者:结果:共有405名患者被纳入研究。患者年龄中位数为 30 岁(四分位数间距为 22-40 岁),363 人(89.6%)为男性。其中,362 名患者(89.4%)共发现 389 处骨折。掌骨骨折最为常见,共有 372 处(95.6%)。最常受伤的是第五掌骨(67.4%),其次是第四掌骨(10.0%)和第三掌骨(7.7%)。虽然最常见的基底骨折发生在第一掌骨,但轴骨折在第二、第三、第四和第五掌骨中最为常见。总体而言,259 名患者(71.5%)的骨折为非移位骨折。此外,有31名患者(7.7%)曾因冲撞被送入急诊室,17名患者(4.2%)曾因外伤导致骨折而到急诊室就诊,63名患者(15.6%)报告有精神科药物使用史:结论:年轻男性占故意冲撞伤患者的大多数。结论:年轻男性占故意冲撞伤患者的大多数,第五掌骨及其骨干骨折最为常见。以前曾因冲撞或外伤到急诊室就诊以及服用精神科药物可能是潜在的风险因素。

Patients with intentional punch injuries in the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Hand and wrist injuries represent some of the most common traumatic conditions encountered in the emergency department (ED). Our study aimed to elucidate the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients sustaining intentional punch injuries.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study involved patients aged 16 years and older who presented to the ED with intentional punch injuries in 2023.

Results: A total of 405 patients were included in the study. The median patient age was 30 years (interquartile range, 22-40 years), and 363 (89.6%) were male. Among the patients, a total of 389 fractures were identified in 362 patients (89.4%). Metacarpal bone fractures were the most common, with 372 fractures (95.6%). The fifth metacarpal was the most frequently injured (67.4%), followed by the fourth (10.0%) and third (7.7%) metacarpals. Although the most common base fracture occurred in the first metacarpal, shaft fractures were most prevalent in the second, third, fourth, and fifth metacarpals. Overall, 259 patients (71.5%) had nondisplaced fractures. Additionally, 31 patients (7.7%) had previously been admitted to the ED for punching, 17 (4.2%) had prior ED visits for trauma resulting in a fracture, and 63 (15.6%) reported a history of psychiatric drug use.

Conclusions: Young men represent the majority of intentional punch injury patients. The fifth metacarpal and its shaft fractures were most commonly observed. A history of prior ED visits for punching or trauma, as well as psychiatric medication use, may serve as potential risk factors.
