Our study aimed to elucidate the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients sustaining intentional punch injuries.Methods: This single-center retrospective study involved patients aged 16 years and older who presented to the ED with intentional punch injuries in 2023.Results: A total of 405 patients were included in the study. The median patient age was 30 years (interquartile range, 22\u201340 years), and 363 (89.6%) were male. Among the patients, a total of 389 fractures were identified in 362 patients (89.4%). Metacarpal bone fractures were the most common, with 372 fractures (95.6%). The fifth metacarpal was the most frequently injured (67.4%), followed by the fourth (10.0%) and third (7.7%) metacarpals. Although the most common base fracture occurred in the first metacarpal, shaft fractures were most prevalent in the second, third, fourth, and fifth metacarpals. Overall, 259 patients (71.5%) had nondisplaced fractures. Additionally, 31 patients (7.7%) had previously been admitted to the ED for punching, 17 (4.2%) had prior ED visits for trauma resulting in a fracture, and 63 (15.6%) reported a history of psychiatric drug use.Conclusions: Young men represent the majority of intentional punch injury patients. The fifth metacarpal and its shaft fractures were most commonly observed. A history of prior ED visits for punching or trauma, as well as psychiatric medication use, may serve as potential risk factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.20408\/jti.2025.0022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,31]],"date-time":"2025-03-31T01:16:46Z","timestamp":1743383806000},"page":"32-37","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.20408\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Patients with intentional punch injuries in the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.20408","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5346-2116","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"\u0130brahim","family":"Toker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5557-6627","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"\u00d6mer","family":"Salt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7783-5343","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Taner","family":"\u015eahin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5775-3909","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M\u00fckerrem","family":"Altunta\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5612-8527","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"\u0130rfan","family":"G\u00f6k\u00e7ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7457-6451","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Murat","family":"E\u015flik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8729-5437","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"\u0130brahim","family":"T\u00fcys\u00fcz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5925-4311","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Baycan","family":"Ku\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1490-1458","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Muhammed \u0130slam","family":"\u00d6zer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"8308","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sltb.12371"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-022-04617-9"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"429","volume-title":"Epidemiology of hand and wrist injuries treated in a reference specialty center over a year","author":"Arroyo-Berezowsky","year":"2021"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"6","volume-title":"Punch injuries: insights into intentional closed fist injuries","author":"Jeanmonod","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1359104516664121"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-020-04794-5"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"252","volume-title":"Epidemiology of bone fractures in the hand in adult population using the ICD-10 Classification","author":"Dominguez-Prado","year":"2022"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2021.08.059"},{"key":"ref9","volume-title":"Metacarpal fracture [updated 2023 Aug 4].
