Several recreational activities such as roller skating, skateboarding, and scooter riding create the risk for hand injuries, which are the fourth most commonly injured body part in relation to their use. Seymour first identified a specific pattern of digit injury as an open fracture affecting the distal phalangeal physis associated with nail avulsion from the eponychial fold. In this article, we report a series of Seymour fractures associated with misuse of the newly emerging recreational/transportation vehicle, the hoverboard.
The study includes a retrospective chart review of patients who presented to a tertiary hospital between December 2015 and October 2016 with a Seymour fracture caused while operating a hoverboard.
A total of 13 patients were treated for Seymour fractures. The majority were male patients, and the group had a mean age of 10.3 years (±2.21). The affected digits were primarily the middle and ring fingers of the non-dominant hand. The injury mechanism reported by patients or families indicated that the child was operating the hoverboard in a sitting position with the hands grasping the wheel rim parts.
We report a case series of a fracture pattern resulting from the improper/unsafe use of a hoverboard. This type of fracture occurs with a tremendous load of energy. Although improper use was a factor, design fault also plays a role in causing the injury. Parent awareness and supervision are important to prevent such injuries.
轮滑、滑板和骑滑板车等多项娱乐活动会造成手部受伤风险，手部是与这些活动相关的第四大最常受伤身体部位。西摩首次确定了一种特定的手指损伤模式，即开放性骨折累及远端指骨骨骺，并伴有甲皱襞处指甲撕脱。在本文中，我们报告了一系列与新兴娱乐/交通工具——悬浮滑板使用不当相关的西摩骨折。
该研究包括对2015年12月至2016年10月期间因操作悬浮滑板导致西摩骨折而就诊于一家三级医院的患者进行回顾性病历审查。
共有13例患者接受了西摩骨折治疗。大多数为男性患者，该组患者平均年龄为10.3岁（±2.21）。受影响的手指主要是非优势手的中指和环指。患者或家属报告的损伤机制表明，儿童以坐姿操作悬浮滑板，双手抓住轮辋部分。
我们报告了一系列因悬浮滑板使用不当/不安全而导致的骨折病例。这种类型的骨折是在巨大能量负荷下发生的。虽然使用不当是一个因素，但设计缺陷在造成损伤方面也起到了作用。家长的意识和监督对于预防此类伤害很重要。
