ITS SPRING(ish) so here are the final, super informal and probably incomplete results of our biannual “how kids got hurt in Western NL” poll for fall/winter Bad year for our nemesis Skidoo. Those things cause bad injuries! @NL_HealthServ

Time for our biannual “how kids got fractured!” Spring and summer edition 2025 Happy to see low numbers of ATV and Fortnite but noticing a lot more ebike and e-scooter so next year we will separate that out. @NL_HealthServ #cornerbrook

Well... there's an increasing amount of that going around. If this is the *start* of a trend, it is *very bad*.

Sometimes I change the lyrics of the second verse of Fake Plastic Trees so that it’s about hip fractures. #radiohead “She used to do surgery For girls in their 80s But gravity always wins And it wears her out It wears her out”

the FIRST thing I did in 2020 once it was named was look up its "parent" every day I log in, I get angry every day there's ANOTHER research article that simply RECONFIRMS what I knew in 2020 ALL SARS-COV-1 survivors suffered osteoporosis & necrosis of the femoral head

And so concludes summer. What a great year we had with almost no ATV or Dirtbike crashes in the paediatrics population here in Western Zone. Those blasted trampolines though 🤣 #pediatricfractures #kidssafety @NL_HealthServ
