Abstract

The accidents to all children up to the age of 14 years admitted to the I. Universitätsklinik für Unfallchirurgie in Wien in 1976 (2977 children) were analysed as to age-distribution, cause of accident, type and location of injury. There was an increase in accidents to older children. 13% of the injuries were due to traffic accidents; 60% occurred in the course of play; 27% on the field of sport. More than 60% were only minor injuries such as abrasions, lacerations, crushed fingers and toes etc., 30% bone fractures and ligamental injuries; 2,5% brain traumas. Most of the bone fractures were localized iment and no lethal injuries.
