“…[8][9][10][11] A recent statewide study has reported head injuries to be 4.76% of all trampoline-related injuries. 12 Nevertheless, there have been no studies in the literature to date that specifically investigated head and neck injuries secondary to trampoline use. Trampoline-related injuries to the neck that have been reported are limited to case reports and series.…”

Study Design The authors designed a 20-year cross-sectional study using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database. Objective The purpose of the study is to determine the risk factors for hospital admission among individuals who suffer head and neck injuries secondary to trampoline use. Methods The primary predictor variables were a set of heterogenous variables that were categorized into the forementioned study variable groups (patient characteristics and injury characteristics). The primary outcome variable was hospital admission. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for hospital admission. Results The final sample consisted of 13,474 reports of trampoline injuries to the head and neck. Relative to females, males (OR 1.66, P < .05) were at an increased risk for hospital admissions. Fractures (OR 35.23, P < .05) increased the risk for hospital admissions relative to dental injuries. Concerning anatomical region of injury, neck injuries (OR 30.53, P < .05) were at an increased risk for hospital admissions. Conclusions Injuries to the neck from trampoline jumping significantly increased the risk for admission. The severity of neck injuries from trampoline jumping is well established in the literature. Additionally, male sex and fractures were each risk factors for hospital admission. Given the rising prevalence of trampoline-related head and neck injuries over the past 2 decades, it is crucial for individuals to take the necessary precautions when jumping on a trampoline.

“…Trampolinerelated injuries were studied in Asia, Australia, France, and Austria, reporting similar trends in injury presentation, with extremity injuries being the most prevalent. 6,12,15,25,29 A recent study reported an incidence of lower extremity injuries of 34% among all trampoline injuries, without discriminating specific injury characteristics or anatomic regions such as ankle, knee, or hip. 29 In this study, most injuries among skeletally mature patients were sustained in trampoline parks, while skeletally immature patients were most often injured on backyard trampolines.…”

Background: Little is known about the specific risk of knee injuries due to trampoline accidents in adults compared with children. Purpose: To investigate the differences in trampoline-related knee injuries between children and adults and identify risk factors and protective strategies to reduce injury incidence. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data on 229 consecutive patients treated for trampoline-related knee injuries in a single institution were prospectively collected, analyzed, and included. Risk factors, injury patterns, and clinical treatments were compared between skeletally immature and skeletally mature patients. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratios for specific risk factors for trampoline-related injuries—including body mass index (BMI), trauma mechanism, patient age, and accident location. Results: A total of 229 patients met the inclusion criteria; 118 (52%) patients (women, 54.2%; mean age, 8.5 ± 4.1 years) were skeletally immature at the time of injury, and 111 (48%) patients (women, 72%; mean age, 31.9 ± 13.1 years) had closed physes on initial presentation and were classified as skeletally mature. A total of 63 patients (28%) required surgical treatment for their knee injury. Overall, 50 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, 46 fractures, 39 meniscal tears, 31 ligamentous tears other than ACL, 22 patellar dislocations, and 38 soft tissue injuries, such as lacerations, were recorded. Skeletally mature patients had 7.8 times higher odds (95% CI, 1.6-46.8; P < .05) and 19.1 increased odds (95% CI, 5.5-74.9; P < .05) of an ACL tear or another ligamentous tear, respectively, compared with skeletally immature patients. Patients who described instability and giving way of the knee as relevant trauma mechanisms had odds of 3.11 (95% CI, 0.9-14.8; P < .05) of an ACL tear compared with other trauma mechanisms. Meniscal tears were observed more frequently in the skeletally mature cohort ( P < .05). An elevated BMI was associated with a significantly higher relative risk of an ACL tear, a ligamentous tear other than the ACL, and an injury requiring surgery. A third of surgically treated patients were subject to a delayed diagnosis. Conclusion: Adults had a significantly increased risk of ligamentous and meniscal tears and required operative intervention more often than skeletally immature individuals. Elevated BMI, age, and instability events in terms of trauma mechanism conveyed an increased risk of structural damage to the knee.

“…The rise of recreational activities and sports in the household environment has also created unique events leading to spine injuries [ 7 ]. Trampoline use has accounted for a substantial proportion of spine injuries in children and adolescents, emphasizing the need for safety guidelines and adult supervision while using trampolines [ 16 ]. Similarly, the widespread adoption of electronic devices has increased spine injuries related to their use at home.…”

Introduction Recognizing the concerns posed by spine injuries within homes, stemming from falls, interactions with furnishings, and daily activities, it is imperative to consider preventive strategies. Our analysis of spine injuries utilizing the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) data sheds light on falls, furnishings, age-specific risks, recreation, technology, and socioeconomic disparities as contributing elements, accentuating the need for targeted interventions. This study aims to provide insights into the prevalence of spine injuries in different household locations, associated products, age groups, and gender, thus informing injury prevention strategies for safer living environments. Methods This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study utilizing data between 2013 to 2022 from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database. Specific household product codes and demographic data, such as age and gender, were analyzed. Statistical analysis in R (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) involved descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions. Results In analyzing 44,267 spine injuries, the study revealed location-specific variations in spine injuries within households. Living rooms and bedrooms had the highest injury rates at 34.17% and 21.65%, respectively. Significant differences in injury rates between males and females across various home locations. Females accounted for 51.78% of injuries in the living room and 59.99% in the bedroom. In the kitchen, females experienced 53.21% of injuries, while males accounted for 46.79% of cases. Notably, overall spine injuries exhibited a significant difference between males and females, with females having a higher total likelihood of injuries (AOR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.14-1.77, p < 0.001). Regarding age, individuals between 51-60 years were most vulnerable to spine injuries, accounting for 17.98% of total cases. Notably, the age group of 61-70 years exhibited a substantial proportion of injuries at 17.12%, while the age group of 71-80 years accounted for 14.39%. The age group of 41-50 years also displayed a notable injury rate of 14.12%. The youngest age group, 0-10 years, demonstrated the lowest percentage of injuries at 4.79%. This age-based analysis provides valuable insights into the distribution of spine injuries across different demographic segments. Regarding age, individuals between 51-60 years were most vulnerable to spine injuries, comprising 17.98% of total cases. Age groups of 41-50 and 61-70 years also showed substantial proportions of injuries, accounting for 14.12% and 17.12%, respectively. The youngest age group, 0-10, exhibited the lowest percentage of injuries at 4.79%. Conclusion The study focuses on the occurrence of spinal injuries in common sites of injury in the household, such as the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and stairs. There is increased prevalence amongst females and increased risk vul...
