Objectives: to examine the frequency of forearm fractures in relation to total long bone fractures, to examine the age and gender structure of patients with forearm fractures, to examine the duration of individual surgical treatment methods, to examine the average duration of hospitalization with regard to the applied surgical method. Study Design: Cross-sectional study with historical data. Patients and methods: patients with forearm fractures operated on at the Department of Traumatology, Clinic for Orthopedics and Traumatology of KBC Osijek in the period from January 1 to December 31, 2021.. Results: forearm fractures account for 13 % of total long bone fractures, the majority of subjects are postmenopausal women, the median duration of the operative procedure is the longest for the application of external fixation and is 135 minutes (interquartile range from 135 to 158 minutes), and the shortest for closed reduction with Kirschner transfixation wires and is 15 minutes (interquartile range from 11 to 25 minutes), the shortest duration of hospitalization is associated with external fixation surgery median 2 days (interquartile range 1 to 2 days), and the longest duration of hospitalization is associated with external fixation surgery median 7 days (interquartile range from 6 to 13 days). Conclusion: forearm bone fractures account for 13 % of total long bone fractures, forearm fractures are more common in older age, especially in women, the duration of the operative procedure depends on the type of surgical method, the shortest is the method of closed reposition with transfixation, and the longest is the application of external fixation, the duration of hospitalization it depends on the surgery method type, it lasts the longest in hospitalization associated with external fixation surgery, and the shortest with its removal.
