To analyze all windsurfing and kitesurfing (kiteboarding) injuries presented at our coastal hospital over a 2-year period.
Twenty-five windsurfers (21 male; aged 31 ± 8 years) and 32 kitesurfers (23 male; aged 29 ± 11 years) presented at our hospital during the 2-year study period. Various injury data were recorded, including transport to hospital and treatment. After a median follow-up of 16 mo (range, 7-33 mo), 18 windsurfers (72%) and 26 kitesurfers (81%) completed questionnaires on the trauma mechanisms, the use of protective gear, time spent on windsurfing or kitesurfing, time to return to sports, additional injuries, and chronic disability.
Most patients sustained minor injuries but severe injuries also occurred, including vertebral and tibial plateau fractures. The lower extremities were affected the most, followed by the head and cervical spine, the upper extremities, and the trunk. The injury rates were 5.2 per 1000 h of windsurfing and 7.0 per 1000 h of kitesurfing ( = 0.005). The injury severity was the same between groups ( = 1.0). Less than 30% of the study population used protective gear. Kitesurfers had a higher number of injuries, and required transport by ambulance, inpatient hospital stay and operative treatment more often than windsurfers, but these differences were not statistically significant ( > 0.05). The median time to return to windsurfing and kitesurfing was 5 and 4 wk, respectively ( = 0.79). Approximately one-third of the patients in each group experienced chronic symptoms.
Kitesurfing results in a significantly higher injury rate than windsurfing in the same environmental conditions but the severity of the injuries does not differ.
分析我院沿海医院在两年时间内收治的所有帆板和风筝冲浪（风筝板）损伤病例。
在为期两年的研究期间，有25名帆板运动员（21名男性，年龄31±8岁）和32名风筝冲浪者（23名男性，年龄29±11岁）到我院就诊。记录了各种损伤数据，包括送往医院的情况和治疗情况。在中位随访16个月（范围7 - 33个月）后，18名帆板运动员（72%）和26名风筝冲浪者（81%）完成了关于创伤机制、防护装备使用情况、帆板或风筝冲浪时长、恢复运动时间、其他损伤以及慢性残疾情况的问卷调查。
大多数患者受轻伤，但也发生了重伤，包括脊椎和胫骨平台骨折。下肢受影响最严重，其次是头部和颈椎、上肢及躯干。帆板运动的损伤率为每1000小时5.2例，风筝冲浪的损伤率为每1000小时7.0例（P = 0.005）。两组间损伤严重程度相同（P = 1.0）。研究人群中使用防护装备的不到30%。风筝冲浪者受伤次数更多，比帆板运动员更常需要救护车运送、住院治疗和手术治疗，但这些差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。恢复帆板和风筝冲浪的中位时间分别为5周和4周（P = 0.79）。每组中约三分之一的患者有慢性症状。
在相同环境条件下，风筝冲浪导致的损伤率显著高于帆板运动，但损伤严重程度并无差异。
