Trauma - Micromobility Devices and Neurosurgical Injuries

In this episode, we delve into the evolving landscape of neurosurgical trauma associated with the rise of micromobility devices. Examining "The Fast and the Fragile: Neurosurgical Trauma in the Age of Micromobility," published in Neurosurgery in 2026, we analyze full-text findings from a retrospective study. The research focuses on patient demographics, injury patterns, and outcomes in individuals presenting with head and spine trauma related to e-scooters, e-bikes, and similar personal transport. Key findings highlight a concerning increase in severe injuries and discuss the implications for trauma center preparedness and public health initiatives.
