Summary

Background: Worldwide injuries from trauma accidents represents a major population problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed this problem as one of the most important global priorities, calling 2011-2021 the Global Road Traffic Safety Decade. Despite this, there is little empirical data in low and middle-income countries quantifying the burden of fractures and the current practice of care.

Methods: The investigators conducted a multicenter, prospective observational study of patients sustaining fractures or dislocations who presented to an orthopaedic fracture unit at 14 hospitals in India. A representative sample of patients were recruited during an 8-week period starting on October 1, 2012. Patients were followed up to 30-days in hospital or until discharge to determine if they suffered any outcomes. Primary outcomes included total mortality, reoperation, and infection.
