背景：长骨骨折是由创伤引起的常见损伤，也是转诊到医院的常见原因。尽管世界卫生组织（WHO）指出，长骨骨折在中低收入国家的发病率很高，但对成年人长骨骨折的影响几乎没有考虑。目的：本综述针对1990年至2017年期间发表的研究，这些研究探讨了长骨骨折对成年人心理、社会、经济、职业和身体健康的影响。方法：本范围审查涉及使用Science Direct、科克伦图书馆、BMJ Online、PubMed、Jstor、SpringerLink、Emerald Insight和Ebscohost Research数据库以及Google Scholar中的关键术语进行的系统性文献检索。结果：在总共297篇出版物中，19篇符合纳入标准：4篇文献关注肱骨骨折的影响，1篇文献关注尺骨骨折，6篇文献关注桡骨远端骨折，结论：长骨骨折对患者生活的许多方面都有相当大的影响。在某些情况下，骨折使患者无法工作和履行经济义务。这种伤害限制了以前正常的社会交往和受伤前的功能。今后的研究应审查长骨骨折对非洲的影响，因为确定的研究非常有限。
Background: Long bone fractures are common injuries caused by trauma and are a common cause for referral to hospitals. Little consideration has been given to the impact of long bone fractures in adults despite the World Health Organization's statement that such injuries cause substantial morbidity in low- and middle-income countries.Aim: This review targeted published studies conducted from 1990 to 2017 that examined the impact of long bone fractures on the psychological, social, financial, occupational and physical health of adults.Method: This scoping review involved a systematic literature search using key terms in Science Direct, Cochrane Library, BMJ Online, PubMed, Jstor, SpringerLink, Emerald Insight and Ebscohost Research databases and Google Scholar.Results: From a total of 297 publications, 19 met the inclusion criteria: four publications focused on the impact of fractures of the humerus, one publication looked at ulna fractures, six publications focused on distal radius fractures, five looked at femur fractures and three focused on tibial fractures.Conclusion: Long bone fractures have a considerable impact on many facets of a patient's life. In some cases, the fracture prevents patients from working and meeting financial obligations. The injury limited previously normal social interactions and pre-injury functioning. Future research should examine the impact of long bone fractures in Africa, as there were very limited studies, which were identified.
