Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Providence deployed public electric scooters in 2018.
  • Electric scooter use presents potential public health risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Characterize the burden of craniofacial injuries from electric scooters.
  • Evaluate injury patterns and severity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of plastic surgery consultations for craniofacial injuries.
  • Data collected from September 2018 to October 2022.
  • Inclusion of patient demographics, injury details, and trauma characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-five patients with craniofacial trauma identified over four years.
  • Sixty-four percent required soft tissue repair; 52% sustained bony fractures.
  • ICU admission occurred in 16% of cases, with no fatalities.

Conclusions:

  • Electric scooter-related craniofacial injuries are infrequent but can be severe.
  • Injuries may necessitate complex surgical reconstruction and intensive care.
  • Recommendations for improved safety practices and monitoring in Providence.
