Snowboarding trauma.

Injuries sustained by 487 snowboarders over 1991-1993 winter seasons and 565 injury cases compiled nationally were reviewed. Over 80% of patients in both series are between 5 and 24 years old. Distal radius (wrist) fractures and upper extremity soft tissue trauma were common injuries. None of the Vermont snowboarders wore protective equipment. Snowboarding is a sport with the potential for disabling injuries in a young segment of the population. To reduce the number of injuries, all participants should wear protective wrist and upper extremity pads. The mechanism of injury in most injured snowboarders was loss of control of the equipment. More injuries are expected in this popular sport without mandated protective equipment and training.

Vascular leiomyomas in the hand.

Vascular leiomyomas or angioleiomyomas are benign solitary smooth muscle tumors that occur uncommonly in the hand. The peak incidence is in the third to fifth decades of life, and men are more often affected than women. This tumor is rarely diagnosed before surgery. The usual treatment is simple excision of the mass and ligation of feeder vessels. Although the tumors occur anywhere in the hand, there are only two previous cases of vascular leiomyoma involving the digital artery. A recent case of this tumor involving a digital artery documented by arteriography and treated by excision of the mass and end-to-end anastomosis of the artery is presented. The authors review their experience with vascular leiomyomas in the hand and present four cases along with a review of 105 cases found in the English literature.

Wheels-in-line roller skating injuries.

Injuries sustained by patients using wheels-in-line roller skates were reviewed in a survey of 57 cases collected by the Roosevelt Hospital Hand Service and 444 cases compiled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Most patients were novice skaters in the second and third decades of life. Severe distal radius fractures and upper extremity soft-tissue trauma were the most common injuries in both groups. The distal radius (44.9%), scaphoid (13.9%), and radial head (10.4%) were the three most common fracture sites in the Roosevelt survey. Most (80%) skaters in this group did not wear protective equipment. In-line roller skating can and does produce disabling injuries. Also, several deaths were reported among skaters traveling in heavy traffic. To reduce the number of injuries, all skaters should wear protective gear, especially wrist and elbow pads. Splints reduce but do not eliminate the potential for trauma. In our study most injured skaters had not mastered controlled skating and stopping techniques. This new recreational sport is increasing in popularity and more injuries are expected if skaters fail to protect themselves properly.
