Osteocartilaginous exostoses is the most common benign bone tumor of childhood whose predominant growth on cartilage with potential impact on bone development and architecture, with potential risk of fractures and installation of malignant neoplasms. We present a case of an 11 -year -old female child, admitted to the unit complained of pain in the proximal region of the left ulna and distal third of the ipsilateral tibia with evolution of one year and suspected hereditary multiple exostosis whose histopathological result was positive for osteochondroma. The conduct for this case consisted of surgical extraction of the bone mass and outpatient follow -up for the case of relevant angular deviation of limbs, fractures or emergence of neoplasia suspected of malignancy.

The purpose of this research is to analyze prevalence and incidence studies on the seasonality of trauma epidemiology with regard to distal radius fractures through a systematic review, in which cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were selected regarding the analysis of clinical and epidemiological variables associated with fractures of the distal radius. For this, MEDLINE®, LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED platforms were used. From a total of 45,634 articles, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 scientific publications were eligible among the 64 read in full. According to the review, it appears that there is seasonality in distal radius fractures according to the seasons of the year. The decreased bone strength of these patients was associated with an increased risk of fracture in 10 years and individuals from a rural environment with less hospital support have a greater chance of not having an adequate post- fracture follow-up.
