Since the introduction of automotive airbag technology, patterns of airbag-induced injuries have emerged. Various types of upper-extremity trauma including fractures have been described. Previous reports have focused on the location of the forearm before deployment as the major determinant of fracture. We describe a case of forearm fracture resulting from an airbag deployment in a lupus patient with documented osteoporosis. Bone strength has recently been determined in laboratory testing to be an important factor determining airbag-induced fracture risk. An airbag-induced forearm fracture in an otherwise healthy individual may be an indicator of reduced bone strength.
自从汽车安全气囊技术问世以来，安全气囊导致的损伤模式逐渐显现。已经描述了包括骨折在内的各种类型的上肢创伤。先前的报告将展开前前臂的位置作为骨折的主要决定因素。我们描述了一例在患有骨质疏松症记录的狼疮患者中因安全气囊展开而导致前臂骨折的病例。最近在实验室测试中确定骨强度是决定安全气囊导致骨折风险的一个重要因素。在其他方面健康的个体中发生的安全气囊导致的前臂骨折可能是骨强度降低的一个指标。
