We studied 64 patients from different medical institutions (1951-1957). The reasons are street trauma (33), household trauma (15), industrial (8), transport (7) and sports (1). By the nature of the fracture: comminuted fracture (28), transverse (26). Marginal fracture (6) and vertical fracture are very rare (1). Fracture was not specified in 3; open fractures were 3. In connection with the definition of the nature of the fracture, it is not always possible to base only on the radiograph or, moreover, on its description by the radiologist.
