PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the @entity85 types, @entity130 , surgical techniques and treatment costs of Syrian refugees. METHODS: Totally 158 @entity1 (67 female, 91 male) treated in our clinic in 34  months period between January 2012 and October 2014 were included in the study. The mean age of the @entity1 was 39.3  years (range: 18-82  years). The @entity1 were evaluated for age, gender, mechanism of injury, location and type of @entity174 , presence of accompanying @entity130 , injury severity score, surgical technique, complications, mortality/morbidity and treatment cost. RESULTS: The @entity130 were more frequently reported in lower extremities, upper extremities and axial skeleton, respectively. @entity130 was significantly higher in upper @entity130 compared with the other types of @entity130 (p   =   0.001). @entity174 were most commonly reported in foot/ankle region and in males, hand/wrist @entity174 were significantly higher than that of the females. Plate fixation of @entity174 and intramedullary nailing in lower extremity @entity174 were the most commonly preferred treatment modalities. The mean hospitalization period of @entity1 was 5.6  days and the mean treatment cost was 3844 Turkish Liras (TL). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, it was shown that there was a statistically significant increase in the cost of health expenses in @entity1 with fall from heights or gunshot wound, with @entity174 in axial skeleton or with the @entity2992 score between 16 and 66. The cost rise was associated with worse prognosis, complications, intensive care treatments and prolonged hospitalization periods.
