Baton twirling is an increasingly popular sport, with an estimated 5000 participants in Scotland alone. The baton, weighing over 200 g, is spun at high speeds and frequently thrown over 40 feet (12 m) into the air. We report a case of a 17-year-old girl who sustained a serious eye injury after being struck by a baton. The occurrence of eye injury has not been reported in this sport, and we discuss the potential for injury.
转棒是一项越来越受欢迎的运动,仅在苏格兰就估计有5000名参与者。这种重逾200克的棒子会高速旋转,还经常被抛到40英尺(12米)以上的空中。我们报告了一例17岁女孩被棒子击中后眼部受到严重损伤的病例。此前该运动中尚未有眼部受伤的报道,我们还讨论了受伤的可能性。
