Electric scooters have become very popular over the past five years. However, their growing popularity and their easy availability are strongly related to an increasing number of injuries. These accidents are more common among young people and typically occurred during the night. The great majority of patients admitted to an emergency department receive at least one imaging examination, which commonly is an X-ray or a computed tomography scan. In electric scooter trauma, the head, maxillofacial region, and upper and lower extremities are more vulnerable than the thoracoabdominal region and spine. Among fractures, the nasal bone, radius and tibia are most involved. Intracranial injuries are rare but are an important cause of disability and possible death. Although most patients with electric scooter trauma are discharged home, these accidents often require outpatient follow-up and sometimes hospitalization. Due to the growing number of this type of trauma, it is important for an emergency radiologist to know the pattern of injuries.
在过去的五年中，电动滑板车变得非常流行。然而，它们越来越受欢迎，而且易于获得，这与越来越多的伤害事件密切相关。这些事故在年轻人中更为常见，通常发生在夜间。大多数被送往急诊部的患者至少接受一次影像学检查，通常是 X 光或计算机断层扫描。在电动滑板车创伤中，头部、颌面区域和上下肢比胸腹部和脊柱更容易受伤。在骨折中，鼻骨、桡骨和胫骨最易受累。颅内损伤很少见，但却是导致残疾和可能死亡的重要原因。虽然大多数电动滑板车创伤患者都出院回家，但这些事故通常需要门诊随访，有时还需要住院治疗。由于这种类型的创伤越来越多，急诊放射科医生了解损伤模式非常重要。
