Background:
Traumatic injuries resulting from personal watercraft hydrostatic jets are expected to increase as personal watercrafts are affordable, portable, and used in an increasingly wide range of locales.
Case Presentation:
This case study presents an unusual severe perineal injury in a 17-year-old adolescent girl resulting from a fall from a personal watercraft and contact with the vehicle's hydrostatic jet. This case report provides an overview of the mechanism, treatment, and prevention of personal watercraft injuries.
Conclusion:
Knowledge of this mechanism's potential for serious morbidity and mortality, patient assessment and management principles, and injury prevention strategies are essential to providing effective trauma center care.
