OBJECTIVE: To show traumatic injures in children under sixteen-years-old, managed from April 2004 to March 2005, in Cerralvo General Hospital, Nuevo León, Mexico.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-Sectional Study. We filled out special formats in every pediatric patient seen in our hospital for traumatic lesion.
RESULTS: We attended 535 children (65.0% were male and 34.9% female). Most of the patients (81.3%) had no health insurance. We checked 49.8% on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Most of the accidents were at home (55.7%), and 44.4% were in the evening. Wounds, contusions and fractures accounted for 79.2% of the lesions. The head was affected with 37.8%, the upper extremity in 29.9% and the lower extremity in 22.4%. The injures were caused by falls in 46.7%, followed by blunt objects in 11.9% and motor vehicles in 11.7%.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that injures in small cities as in northeast Nuevo León, are less serious than injures in big cities.
