Although the bones of the children are more resistant to fracture than adults due to thick periosteum and low elasticity module, fractures are more common in children than in adults. This is because children are more exposed to trauma. Gender, age, and various environmental factors significantly affect the etiology and epidemiology of child fractures. To prevent the fractures that children are exposed to, it is necessary to have knowledge about the etiology and epidemiology of these injuries.
