The data was extracted from information collected through phone contact and patients’ medical documents. V Kramer and ETA tests were performed to analyze the hypotheses using SPSS 25 software.Results: Men constituted 61% of the patients. The average age of the patients was 42.18 (6.86) years, and almost 41% of the patients lived in Sanandaj. The most common trauma mechanism was fall Injury with 44.8%, 59.55% of which were in the lumbar region. Compression and burst fractures had the highest fracture rates with 47.85 and 21.9 percent, respectively.Conclusion: According to the findings, the fractures were more prevalent in men, young people, and in labor and agricultural occupations, and there is a significant relationship between the consequences of fractures with age, sex, and occupation, which indicates the need for more safety considerations in these people.
