OBJECTIVE
To characterize work-related knee injuries treated in US emergency departments (EDs).
METHODS
We characterized work-related knee injuries treated in EDs in 2007 and examined trends from 1998 to 2007 by using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-occupational supplement.
RESULTS
In 2007, 184,300 (± 54,000; 95% confidence interval) occupational knee injuries were treated in US EDs, accounting for 5% of the 3.4 (± 0.9) million ED-treated occupational injuries. The ED-treated knee injury rate was 13 (± 4) injuries per 10,000 full-time equivalent workers. Younger workers and older female workers had high rates. Strains/sprains and contusions/abrasions were common-frequently resulting from falls and bodily reaction/overexertion events. Knee injury rates declined from 1998 through 2007.
CONCLUSIONS
Knee injury prevention should emphasize reducing falls and bodily reaction/overexertion events, particularly among all youth and older women.
目的
描述美国急诊部（ED）治疗的与工作相关的膝关节损伤。
方法
我们描述了 2007 年 ED 中治疗的与工作相关的膝关节损伤，并通过使用国家电子伤害监测系统-职业补充来检查 1998 年至 2007 年的趋势。
结果
2007 年，美国 ED 共治疗了 184300（±54000；95%置信区间）例职业性膝关节损伤，占 3400 万例 ED 治疗职业性损伤的 5%。ED 治疗的膝关节损伤率为每 10000 名全职等效工人 13（±4）例。年轻工人和老年女性工人的发病率较高。劳损/扭伤和挫伤/擦伤很常见，通常是由跌倒和身体反应/过度劳累引起的。膝关节损伤率从 1998 年到 2007 年下降。
结论
膝关节损伤预防应强调减少跌倒和身体反应/过度劳累事件，特别是所有青少年和老年妇女。
