Pediatric Off-Road Vehicle Injuries: Side-by-Sides Worse for the Upper Extremity.
Side-by-side (SXS) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are different off-road vehicles (ORVs) but often categorized together in the literature. We hypothesized pediatric upper extremity (UE) fracture patterns and injury severity scores (ISS) differ between ORV types. ⋯ UE fractures caused by SXS were more likely to be open and require surgery compared with ATVs and other ORVs. SXS drivers were more likely to sustain left-sided injuries, whereas passengers had significantly higher right-sided injuries. Patients younger than 13 years were more likely to require surgery compared with teenagers.
