Roller blading is a new and increasingly popular leisure activity in many countries. We reviewed 110 consecutive patients with roller-blade injuries between 1 January and 30 June 1996. The patients ranged from 4 to 14 years in age (mean 6.5 years). Eighty-three (75.4%) sustained injuries to the upper limb and 27 (24.5%) injured the lower limb. Fifty-six patients, were girls and 54 were boys. Of the 110 patients, 79 (72.7%) sustained fractures, 28 (25.4%) soft tissue injuries and 3 (2.7%) dislocations. Eighty-three (75.4%) of the patients wore no protective equipment on the limbs. Four months following injury 103 (93.6%) patients were fully recovered. The mean duration of school absence was 3 days. Subsequently 101 children returned to using roller-blades following injury. Seventy-three (66.3%) of these now use protective equipment. We found that injuries were unrelated to age or duration of roller-blading experience or to the brand-name of roller blades used, and that most of our patients wore no protective equipment at the time of injury.
轮滑在许多国家都是一项新兴且越来越受欢迎的休闲活动。我们回顾了1996年1月1日至6月30日期间连续收治的110例轮滑受伤患者。患者年龄在4岁至14岁之间（平均6.5岁）。83例（75.4%）上肢受伤，27例（24.5%）下肢受伤。56例为女孩，54例为男孩。110例患者中，79例（72.7%）发生骨折，28例（25.4%）为软组织损伤，3例（2.7%）为脱位。83例（75.4%）患者四肢未佩戴防护装备。受伤后四个月，103例（93.6%）患者完全康复。平均缺课天数为3天。随后，101名儿童受伤后又开始使用轮滑。其中73例（66.3%）现在使用防护装备。我们发现，受伤与年龄、轮滑经验时长或所使用轮滑鞋的品牌无关，而且我们的大多数患者在受伤时未佩戴防护装备。
