摘要
116 patients with cervical spine injuries due to water sport accidents treated in eight Austrian institutions from 1991 to 1998 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 93% male, 72% were 15 to 29 years of age. 93% had injuries from diving into swimming pools or into open water. At discharge 58 patients had Frankel A lesions, 39 had incomplete cord lesions Frankel B to D,and 19 patients had no neurological injury. This data suggest that in Austria approximately one person per one million inhabitants per year sustains a spinal cord injury in a diving accident in shallow water.
