The burden of wrist joint dislocations: A nationwide 20-year analysis and review of incidence and injury mechanism
This national analysis characterizes wrist dislocation epidemiology, revealing a stable incidence despite rising sports participation. Key demographic disparities were identified, including high-risk groups of young males (15-24) and females at bimodal age peaks (<5 and ≥65 years). This descriptive epidemiological analysis provides a foundational baseline to inform future clinical research on management and outcomes within these specific populations.
