Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To study epidemiology, fracture pattern, associated injuries, and treatment of individuals with bilateral distal radius fracture, in a tertiary hospital. METHODS: Retrospective cross-sectional study developed based on patients with bilateral distal radius fracture from January 2012 to November 2017. Demographic data, trauma mechanism, radiological patterns, degree of deviation, associated injuries, classification of fractures according to the Association of Osteosynthesis (AO), the Salter-Harris (SH) and Frykman scales, and type of treatment used in each case. RESULTS: 13 cases were included in the trial, 10 adults and three children. In infants, the mean age was 9.6 years (7-11 years), and low-energy trauma was described in all these cases. In total, 66.6% of the children presented the SHII classification . In adult patients, the mean age observed was 43.5 years (27-56 years), with high-energy trauma reported in four (40%) cases. The AO 23C.3 and 23B.2 classifications were the most prevalent in adults. CONCLUSION: In adult individuals, there was a higher incidence of open fractures, wrist joint involvement, ulna fracture, and concomitant injuries, with high-energy trauma observed only in this group, corresponding to half of the cases.
