Abstract
Objective: Epidemiological studies can provide valuable guidance for the planning and improvement of healthcare services and medical education. In developing as well as developed countries, orthopedic interventions are considered basic healthcare and there is very high demand. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of orthopedic and traumatological surgical interventions performed at state hospitals in a province of Turkey and to calculate the number of orthopedic beds required for that population.
