Article Synopsis
- Since their introduction in Germany in 2019, e-scooters have gained popularity, leading to a noticeable increase in associated injuries, prompting this study to evaluate injury patterns in e-scooter accidents.
- The study analyzed 271 patients treated in the emergency department from May 2019 to October 2022, revealing that traumatic brain injuries were the most common (38%), with upper limb fractures also prevalent, and 40 patients required surgical intervention.
- The findings suggest that implementing measures like mandatory helmet use, stricter alcohol regulations, and designated riding times could greatly enhance e-scooter safety.
