Medical records of eligible patients were reviewed and information collected like patient demographics (Age, gender and relevant medical history)., Mechanism of injury and details of the traumatic event and Fracture type and line of management. All the data were collected for 3 years and data were analysed. Total of 52 patient data were collected and computed in excel data sheet. Out of 52, 46 (88.46%) were male and 6 (11.54%) were female.
