- Abstract:
- In recent years an increased occurrence of posttraumatic abdominal-wall hernias, i. e., subcutaneous abdominal ruptures, has been observed in children. The causal trauma is a fall on a scooter or bicycle handlebar. The predilectional place of injury lies near the linea alba or lateral of the rectus sheath. After several days of observation in order to exclude the possibility of an additional intra-abdominal injury, the hernial gap is operatively closed. An important safety measure would be remodelling bicycle bars.
