Skateboard-related trauma is causing significant morbidity and mortality that are rapidly increasing in frequency. The spectrum of injuries is predominantly fractures, contusions and abrasions, strains and sprains, and lacerations of the lower arm, lower leg, head, and face. Significant renal injuries are also a common cause of hospitalization.
