Overview of the Skull

4.6K
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...

Summary

Electric scooter (e-scooter) injuries frequently affect the face, with mechanical falls being common. Most e-scooter craniofacial trauma involves fractures, often requiring surgery, highlighting the need for better safety measures.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Standing electric scooters (e-scooters) are a popular transport mode.
  • E-scooters are associated with significant injuries, particularly craniofacial trauma.
  • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for prevention and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the demographics, risk factors, injury types, and surgical management of craniofacial trauma from e-scooters.
  • To identify common patterns and characteristics of e-scooter-related facial injuries.
  • To highlight knowledge gaps in managing e-scooter craniofacial trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of PubMed and Scopus databases.
  • Inclusion of clinical studies on e-scooter craniofacial trauma.
  • Exclusion of non-English, non-full-text, or data-deficient studies.

Main Results:

  • 10 studies with 539 patients were analyzed.
  • Mean age was 31.5 years; 63.7% were male.
  • Common risk factors included intoxication and lack of helmet use; mechanical falls caused 72.4% of injuries.
  • Middle third facial fractures were most common (58.3%), with 43.3% requiring surgery.
  • Other injuries included TBI (17.6%), soft tissue (58.3%), dental (32.9%), and ophthalmological (20.6%).

Conclusions:

  • E-scooter use leads to predictable patterns of craniofacial trauma.
  • Further research with standardized injury descriptions is needed.
  • Gaps exist in understanding surgical management, complications, and risk factors.
