Study Design Systematic review. Objective Standing electric scooters (e-scooters) provide a cheap and environmentally friendly transport alternative, but also elicit substantial concern regarding their volume of associated injuries especially in the craniofacial region. This review aims to explore the demographics, risk factors, types of injury and surgical management of craniofacial trauma associated with e-scooters. Methods PubMed and Scopus databases were systematically searched. Inclusion criteria were clinical studies investigating craniofacial trauma associated with e-scooters. Exclusion criteria were duplicates; non-English publications; non-full-text publications; studies with insufficient data. Results Of the 73 articles identified, 10 eligible articles representing 539 patients were included. The mean age was 31.5 years. Most cases were male (63.7%). Common risk factors were alcohol/drug intoxication, absence of distal extremity injuries and lack of helmet use. The most common mechanism of injury was mechanical falls (72.4%). The most common facial fracture pattern was middle third fractures (58.3%). Surgical management was required for 43.3% of fractures. Other types of injuries reported were traumatic brain injuries (17.6%), soft tissue injuries (58.3%), dental injuries (32.9%) and ophthalmological injuries (20.6%). Conclusions The findings of this review suggest common presentations for craniofacial trauma associated with e-scooters. Robust longitudinal evaluations with standardised descriptions of types of injuries are required. Gaps in knowledge relate to surgical management, post-operative complications and associated risk factors.

“…There were no associated injuries to the long bones, which is consistent with the lack of distal extremity injuries being a significant risk factor for craniofacial trauma caused by e-scooter accidents. 13 Other important risk factors include alcohol use (range 10-82%) 4,13,[17][18][19][20][21] and lack of helmet use (range 47-100%). 4,13,19,20,22 Alcohol use has been found to be a significant risk factor for craniomaxillofacial injuries, with Shiffler et al reporting a ten-times risk (5% versus 53%).…”

Background Standing electric scooters (e‐scooters) are a cost‐effective and environmentally‐friendly transport alternative, but also elicit substantial concern regarding associated craniofacial injuries. This study aims to describe the patient factors, procedural factors and post‐operative outcomes of maxillofacial fractures caused by e‐scooter accidents. Methods Retrospective chart review of patients aged 18 years or older who were surgically treated for these injuries in 2014–2020 at two Australian tertiary hospitals. Results There were 18 cases included. Most cases were male (66%). The mean age was 35 years. Common risk factors were alcohol use (86%) and lack of helmet use (62%). The most common fracture pattern was zygomatico‐maxillary complex (ZMC) fractures (50%). There were no associated systemic injuries. Mean operation timing was 12 days post‐injury for ZMC fractures and 3 days post‐injury for condyle fractures. For ZMC fractures, the most common method of fixation was 2‐point fixation (66%). For condyle fractures, the most common surgical approach was arch bars only (83%). Post‐operative complications were reported in six cases, with malocclusion being the most common (n = 3). Revision surgeries were performed in two cases. Conclusions Maxillofacial fractures associated with e‐scooter accidents appear to be increasing in incidence. Robust longitudinal evaluations with larger sample sizes are required to better understand associated presentations, surgical approaches and post‐operative complications.

“…Alcohol and drug use while skateboarding or scootering is well reported in descriptive studies to occur concurrently. 7-12 Furthermore, craniofacial injuries are common following skateboard- and scooter-related injury. 1,12-14 Our cross-sectional study is a natural extension of this research as we are the first to report the ORs of sustaining these craniofacial injuries while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.…”

Purpose Concurrent alcohol and drug use has been found to increase the risk of injury for many recreational activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between substance use and craniofacial injury in a population of patients experiencing skateboard- and scooter-related trauma. Methods We report a cross-sectional study of patients reported to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020, in the United States. Patients were included in our study if they were evaluated in the emergency department (ED) for a skateboard- or scooter-related injury. The primary outcome was craniofacial injury. The secondary outcome was hospitalization. Results There were over 5396 total patients who presented to a NEISS-participating ED after skateboard- or scooter-related trauma during the study period. There were 1136 patients with a craniofacial injury (primary endpoint), and patients under the influence of alcohol or drugs had greater odds of experiencing a craniofacial injury than those not under the influence (odds ratio [OR]: 4.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.24-5.32, P < .0001). Four hundred-thirty patients were hospitalized (secondary endpoint), and patients under the influence had greater odds of being hospitalized than those not under the influence (OR: 2.83, 95% CI: 2.04-3.91, P < .0001). Conclusions Alcohol and drug use while skateboarding or scootering drastically increases the likelihood of craniofacial injury and subsequent hospitalization and should be avoided whenever possible. The importance of wearing a helmet while operating these devices cannot be overstated.
