Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze bicycle spoke injuries (BSI) in children under 9 years old, aiming to understand injury patterns and follow-up care in emergency departments.
- Out of 141 patients, 23% had fractures, with significant differences in follow-up times for those with fractures compared to soft tissue injuries and minor abrasions.
- No clinical signs predicted fractures, but factors like triage category and swelling indicated a need for more outpatient visits, highlighting the necessity for standard x-ray examinations for proper management.
