title: [1 year of traumatologic activity in the Emergency Orthopedic Unit of the G. Pini Institute (statistical data)].
abstract: The Authors have considered one year's traumatological activity in the G. Pini Institute's S.T.U. by drawing some statistical results. The data refer to the traumas ambulatorium-treated and to all those which required hospitalization during 1979. The total of the traumas surveyed in 1979 is 33335 of which 1812 required urgent hospitalization (5.44%). Previous statistics show 6679 patients in 1961 and 3209 in 1956. We can realize how these figures have increased in a few years (and in this abstract the different kinds of traumas are also highlighted) without any adjustment to the existing structures and equipment which are completely insufficient.
