The causes of traumatic fracture and economic burden were described.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The admission rate of traumatic fractures of all China population in 2020 was 1.437\u2030. The admission rate increased with age and varied with genders and causes of injuries. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic fracture hospitalization, followed by road traffic injuries. The most common diagnoses were femoral neck fractures, with a number of 138,377. The in-hospital mortality was 1.209\u2030. Road traffic injuries led to the highest in-hospital mortality. The median length of stay was 10 days, with the median hospitalization cost of \u00a520,900 (about $3,056).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Traumatic fractures are concerning conditions with a high admission rate and in-hospital mortality in China, which are mainly caused by falls and road traffic injuries.
