“…Through these reviews, various types of injuries in agricultural workers have been described [Moss, 1969;Patten, 1981;Cliff, 1981;Cooper, 1971;Knapp, 1966Knapp, , 1965Muckala, 19671. Although preventive measures are often suggested, they are not supported by epidemiological data.…”

Information on agricultural trauma is limited and difficult to find. Planning for effective prevention strategies and evaluation is compromised by lack of a good surveillance system. Several agencies and organizations have provided some data. Although their summation is at best an approximation of the real situation, a critical review of current data bases is presented. The literature is also reviewed attempting to characterize agricultural trauma. This characterization was classified into: 1) case descriptions, 2) reviews of general articles on the hazards of farming, and 3) descriptive surveys of agricultural injuries. A summary of the available literature still leaves a rather superficial understanding of the entire injury picture. A new approach to surveillance is necessary to overcome past deficiencies. A combined modality approach is suggested, utilizing on-site survey, mail survey, telephone interviewing, and medical record verification. Trial applications of two such systems in Minnesota are described.

“…Broad spectrum antibiotics are indicated in all penetrating wounds (Díaz de Liaño et al., 1998). Tetanus infection in wounds received in an agricultural setting is well recognised (Cooper, 1971); however, in this study only 9% of patients were fully immunised. If there is any doubt, tetanus prophylaxis should be provided.…”

Cattle are socioeconomically important animals with frequent and close contact with humans. Due to the size and power of these animals, injury and deaths related to contact with cows and bulls do occur. It is impossible to be certain of the worldwide burden of morbidity and mortality. It is clear however that trauma presents as specific injury patterns, often related to particular activities. Research identifies groups such as dairy farmers, veterinarians and abattoir workers who are at a higher risk of injury. The general public also increase their risk of injury just by being near cattle. The assessment and treatment of injuries due to cattle trauma should follow some clear and well-defined principles. Reduction in the frequency and severity of injury is possible and should be a priority.

“…Farm injuries can occur far away from a healthcare center (9). Access to health-care can be difficult and inadequate due to transportation problems in mountainous and rural areas (3,4,10).…”

This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms and characteristics of isolated orthopedic injuries from farm accidents which involve the extremities. Methods: The medical records of 138 patients (31 females, 107 males) who presented to the emergency department with isolated orthopedic injuries from farm accidents were reviewed retrospectively. Data on patient age and sex, mechanism of injury, injured site/extremity, injury type, treatment performed, distance from accident location to hospital, approximate time from accident to hospital arrival, season of injury, and whether skin integrity was impaired were recorded. Results: The mean patient age was 35.08 (7-71) years. The injuries occurred during the use of riding animals (n=14, 10.1%), combine harvester/tractor equipment (n=14, 10.1%), cattle (n=24, 17.4%), saw/ ax/hammer (n=47, 34.1%) and tractors (n=23, 16.7%) and due to falling from height (n=16, 11.6%). Of all accidents, 23 (16.7%) occurred in spring, 66 (47.8%) in summer, 30 (21.7%) in autumn, and 19 (13.8%) in winter. Mechanism of injury was statistically significantly related to season, sex, and site of injury (p=0.001). The time to emergency department visit was shorter in cases with impaired skin integrity (p<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism of injury can vary seasonally together with the works performed and machines used. The time to emergency department visit can vary according to whether skin integrity is impaired. As a result of the division of labor in families working in agriculture, mechanism of injury can also vary by sex.
