The rate of pediatric equestrian injuries is relatively low, but the severity of injuries is greater than in many other pediatric sport activities. In a 4-year period the charts of 109 patients up through the age of 15 years, who were admitted for equestrian-related injuries were reviewed. Falls from horses are the most frequent cause of injuries and responsible for their anatomic localization and type of injury. In our study the upper extremity was the most common (38%) area injured and head injuries comprised the second largest group with 36%. Forty percent of all injuries were fractures, 72% of which were fractures of long bones. The circumstances surrounding the accident and mechanisms of these injuries were analyzed. Effective safety measures such as improved equestrian helmets and adequate training in dealing with horses could reduce the risk of injuries.
儿童马术损伤的发生率相对较低，但损伤的严重程度高于许多其他儿童体育活动。在4年的时间里，对109例15岁及以下因马术相关损伤入院患者的病历进行了回顾。从马背上跌落是最常见的受伤原因，决定了损伤的解剖部位和类型。在我们的研究中，上肢是最常受伤的部位（38%），头部损伤是第二大组，占36%。所有损伤中有40%为骨折，其中72%为长骨骨折。分析了事故发生的情况和这些损伤的机制。有效的安全措施，如改进马术头盔和进行足够的马匹应对训练，可以降低受伤风险。
