Comparison of single bicycle crashes and collisions among severely injured cyclists-A 16-year analysis based on the Helsinki Trauma Registry (HTR).

Objective: The Finnish national Traffic Safety Strategy 2022-2026 seeks to halve the number of road fatalities and serious injuries from 2020 to 2030. The strategy states that better information on bicycle crashes is needed for safety promotion. The aim of this study was to describe the demographics, injury characteristics, alcohol involvement, and helmet use of severely injured cyclists and to compare single bicycle crashes (falling alone or hitting a fixed object) to collisions.

Characteristics and costs of electric scooter injuries in Helsinki: a retrospective cohort study.

Background And Purpose: The incidence of electric scooter (e-scooter) injuries has increased drastically in numerous countries after widespread availability of shared e-scooters. The economic impact on society from a broader perspective has not been studied. We aimed to estimate the incidence of e-scooter injuries, describe the injury patterns, and estimate the costs of e-scooter injuries.

Associated Injuries Are Common Among Patients With Bicycle-Related Craniofacial Fractures.

Purpose: Ample evidence exists on the relationship between bicycle injuries and craniofacial fractures. However, as the mechanism behind these injuries is often multifactorial, the presence of associated injuries (AIs) in this study population requires further examination. We hypothesized that patients with craniofacial fracture injured in bicycle accidents are at high risk of sustaining severe AIs, especially those of the head and neck region.

Overtreatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures.

Background and purpose - The best treatment for displaced clavicle fractures has been debated for decades. Operative treatment has become more common. However, several randomized trials comparing non-operative and operative treatment have not shown any compelling evidence in favor of surgery.

Cyclist injuries.

A cyclist is relatively susceptible to accidents, most of which occur without the involvement of another party. The most common parts of the body receiving injuries include the head, the clavicular and the chest region as well as the upper limbs. It is common for a cyclist upon falling to suffer injuries of several parts of the body.

Surgical treatment of chronic acromioclavicular joint dislocation with autogenous tendon grafts.

Background: Conservative treatment of acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is not always successful. A consequence of persistent AC joint dislocation may be chronic pain and discomfort in the shoulder region as well a sensation of constant AC joint instability and impaired shoulder function. Stabilization of the AC joint may reduce these sequels.

Surgical treatment of Rockwood grade-V acromioclavicular joint dislocations: 50 patients followed for 15–22 years.

Background And Purpose: Long-term outcome after surgery for grade-V acromioclavicular joint dislocation has not been reported. We performed a retrospective analysis of functional and radiographic outcome 15-22 years after surgery.

Patients And Methods: We examined 50 patients who were treated at our hospital between April 1985 and December 1993.

Sling compared with plate osteosynthesis for treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Few randomized controlled trials have compared operative with nonoperative treatment of clavicular fractures.

Methods: Patients with displaced midshaft clavicular fractures were randomized either to nonoperative treatment with a sling or to operative treatment with a stainless steel 3.5-mm reconstruction plate.

Operative and nonoperative treatment of clavicle fractures in adults.

Background And Purpose: Traditionally, clavicle fractures have been treated nonoperatively. However, many recent studies have concentrated on the results of operative treatment. We assessed and compared the outcomes of operative and nonoperative treatment for acute clavicle fractures in adults.

Multi-detector computed tomography demonstrates smoke inhalation injury at early stage.

A multitrauma victim was transported to our trauma centre. Smoke inhalation injury was suspected based on trauma history and clinical examination. The first trauma computer tomography (CT) obtained 2.
