Abstract:
69 patients with kickboard injuries were treated over a 5-month period. 6 patients were admitted to hospital. Fractures (48%), contusions/ lacerations (45%) and capsular/ ligamentuous injuries (27%) were the most prevalent types of injury. Injuries of the elbow, forearm, wrist and hand accounted for 54% of all cases. Ankle (23%), head (6%) and knee were other regions frequently involved. It is concluded that kickboard-driving imposes a severe risk of injuries. The typical kickboard injuries was the fracture of the wrist and the ankle sprain. Protective equipment for the injured regions is very important to prevant injury.
