Fractures from bicycle falls still common, particularly among boys

Boys aged 10 to 15 years are the most frequent demographic to experience fractures while riding a bicycle, a recent study found.
Trends in bicycle-related fractures among children have not been previously researched in depth, according to William Huffman, an MD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and colleagues. To address this research gap, Huffman and colleagues used the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database to identify patients aged 18 years and younger who, between 2001 and 2020, presented at a U.S. ED with fractures from a bicycle incident.
