Zusammenfassung

In einem 30-Monats-Zeitraum wurden exakt 100 Inline-Skating-Verletzungen bei Jugendlichen bis 15 Jahren und weitere 100 bei Erwachsenen ab 16 Jahren behandelt. 14% der Patienten wurden stationär behandelt, 10% operiert. Die meisten Verletzungen entstanden durch Sturz auf die ausgestreckten Arme (Kinder 55%, Erwachsene 29%). Unter den jugendlichen Verletzten war der Frakturanteil deutlich höher (60%) als bei den Älteren (32%). Die meisten Verletzungen traten im Bereich „distaler Unterarm/Handgelenk” auf (Jugendliche 51%, Ältere 18%). Andere häufig verletzte Regionen waren Hand (Kinder 11%, Erwachsene 12%), Kopf (Kinder 9%, Erwachsene 17%), Knie (Kinder 8%, Erwachsene 11%), Ellbogen (Kinder 7%, Erwachsene 12%) und Sprunggelenk (Kinder 7%, Erwachsene 11%). Während die Skater ihre Gelenkschützer an den nichtverletzten Gelenken ebensohäufig angelegt hatten wie unverletzte Vergleichsskater, waren gerade die verletzten Regionen auffallend schlecht geschützt.

Abstract

Hundred patients aged 15 years or younger and 100 patients aged 16 years or older presented with inline skating injuries over a 30-month period. 14% were admitted to hospital, 10% required operative treatment. Falling to the extended arm caused most of the injuries (children 55%, adults 29%). Children had an especially high risk of sustaining fractures (60% vs 32%). Injuries of the elbow, forearm, wrist and hand accounted for 55 of all cases and 71% of all fractures. The wrist was the region most frequently involved (children 51%, adults 18%). Other regions of interest were hand (children 11%, adults 12%), head (children 9%, adults 17%), knee (children 8%, adults 11%), elbow (children 7%, adults 12%) and ankle region (children 7%, adults 11%). Protective equipment was often used only concerning uninjured regions, whereas the injured regions had most often been left unprotected.
