[]
Science
His research underscored a significant escalation in e-scooter injuries, with patient numbers more than tripling in 2023 compared to previous years.
These cases placed a substantial operational demand on orthopedic departments, reflecting the invasive nature of many e-scooter injuries.
Interestingly, while injuries among under-16 riders decreased, the overall incidence of e-scooter injuries climbed.
In summary, this pioneering research from Ireland compellingly quantifies the economic impact of a burgeoning public health challenge posed by e-scooter injuries.
