- Abstract:
- With the incidence of work-related injuries decreasing, we continue to observe an unchanged trend in leisure-related accidents. As in any other hobby, model flying devices bear the risk for accidents among builders and flyers ranging from skin lacerations to complicated and even life-threatening injuries. The fast-moving razor-sharp propeller blades predominantly cause trauma to the hands and fingers resulting in typical multiple parallel skin injuries also affecting structures deep to the dermis (e. g., tendons, vessels and nerves). The resultant clinical management involves complex reconstructive surgical procedures and prolonged rehabilitative follow-up. Improving the legal framework (e. g., warnings by the manufacturer) on the one hand, providing informative action and sensitising those affected on the other, should form a basis for an altered prevention strategy to reduce model flying device-related injuries in the future. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
