Characteristics of Musculoskeletal Injury Patients at Hanau Hospital, Central Kalimantan Province in 2024
Main Article Content
Musculoskeletal injuries are one of the leading causes of disability and death in the world, including in Indonesia, with a high prevalence in patients who come to the Emergency Department (IGD). This study aims to determine the characteristics of musculoskeletal injury patients in the emergency room of Hanau Hospital, Central Kalimantan Province in 2024. The study used a descriptive design with secondary data from the patient's medical records for the period January 1–December 31, 2024. The inclusion criteria include patients with a diagnosis of musculoskeletal injury and complete medical record data, while exclusion are patients without such a diagnosis or incomplete data. The analysis was carried out descriptively on the variables of age, gender, and type of injury according to location. The results showed a total of 123 musculoskeletal injury patients, with the highest age distribution in the 11–20 years group (20%), followed by the 21–30 years group (17%). Based on gender, men dominate by 70%, while women 30%. The most injured locations were clavicle fractures (8%), wrist and other hand fractures (9%), and distal radius fractures (6%). This pattern is in line with previous research that showed upper extremity fractures as the most common case in active populations. These findings confirm the need for prevention strategies based on safety education, improvement of rehabilitation facilities, and ergonomic interventions tailored to age groups and types of activities. This study provides an initial overview of the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries at Hanau Hospital which can be the basis for prevention and treatment policies in the Central Kalimantan region.
