Overview of the Skull01:08

Overview of the Skull

7.1K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.2K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

9.7K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Electric scooter (e-scooter) use leads to frequent craniofacial injuries, with bony fractures common, especially in the midface. This data can guide the development of safety equipment and training for riders.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Micromobility safety
  • Craniofacial reconstruction

Background:

  • Micromobility devices, such as electric scooters (e-scooters), have seen a significant increase in use nationwide.
  • This rise in e-scooter usage has been associated with a growing incidence of associated trauma, particularly affecting the craniofacial region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the patterns and types of soft tissue and bony craniofacial injuries resulting from e-scooter-related incidents.
  • To provide a detailed understanding of the specific facial structures most commonly affected by e-scooter trauma.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective case series was conducted at a level 1 trauma center.
  • The study included patients who presented to the emergency department or trauma unit with documented craniofacial injuries sustained from e-scooters.

Main Results:

  • Of 203 patients, 188 (92.6%) experienced craniofacial injuries.
  • Soft tissue injuries were most common (64.5%), followed by combined soft tissue and bony injuries (25.1%).
  • The forehead, scalp, chin, and upper lip were the most frequent sites of soft tissue injury, while the orbit and maxilla were most commonly fractured.

Conclusions:

  • E-scooter trauma frequently results in craniofacial injuries, with a high prevalence of bony fractures, particularly in the midface.
  • Findings underscore the need for enhanced safety measures, potentially including specialized facial protective equipment and rider training programs.
