In-line skating injuries most frequently affect the upper extremities, particularly the wrist, often resulting in fractures. While less common, severe lower extremity injuries can occur in skaters.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Research

Background:

  • In-line skating has gained popularity, leading to an increased incidence of related injuries.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of these injuries is crucial for prevention and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the types and locations of injuries sustained during in-line skating.
  • To analyze injury patterns in patients presenting to emergency and sports medicine centers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records from July 1992 to December 1993.
  • Identification of injuries caused by in-line skating through computer and manual record searches.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, injury type, and affected body part.

Main Results:

  • 32 in-line skating injuries were documented in 32 patients (19 female, 13 male) aged 6-46 years (mean 17).
  • Upper extremity injuries accounted for 78%, with wrists being the most common site (56%).
  • Fractures represented 62% of injuries; only one required surgery.

Conclusions:

  • In-line skating injuries predominantly affect the upper extremities, with distal radius fractures being common.
  • Lower extremity injuries are less frequent but can be severe.
  • Further prospective research is recommended to gain deeper insights into in-line skating trauma.
