| Abstract | Ice-skating is a popular sport in Hong Kong. Since the opening of Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, the doctors have observed a special pattern of injury related to ice-skating. Individuals have had a wide range of injuries including fractures and deep tissue lacerations, many of which have needed operative intervention. Public awareness of the risks remains low. The pattern and mechanisms of injury, management modalities, and contributing factors to the injuries are discussed. Preventive measures and socioeconomic implications are also discussed. |
