Sports and occupational injuries of the elbow: MR imaging findings.

Elbow injuries may limit participation in sports and occupational endeavors, as well as activities of daily living. Conventional radiography is the appropriate initial screening technique for evaluation of possible osseous injury or arthritis/arthrosis, but often it offers little information concerning soft-tissue derangement, which is a common source of dysfunction. MR imaging can evaluate these soft tissue to assist in diagnosis, as well as in planning treatment and assessing response to treatment. This essay illustrates MR findings of both the chronic overuse and the more acute traumatic soft-tissue injuries involving ligaments, tendons, muscles, and neurovascular structures, as well as radiographically occult osteochondral injuries.

Occupational injury surveillance among electric utility employees.

Currently, there are only limited injury surveillance data for the electric utility workforce. To address this gap, an Occupational Health Surveillance Database for electric power utilities was established for epidemiologic monitoring and intervention program evaluation. Injury rates varied across utility occupations, such as, managers, line workers, and meter readers, ranging from 0.18 to 9.63 per 100 employee-years based on more than 500,000 employee-years of observation. Compared with male workers, the risk of injury among female workers was lower overall, although their risk was higher in nonoffice occupations than their male counterparts. Across the period 2000 to 2002, three of four companies that experienced decreases in workforce size also experienced noticeable increases in injury rates. Our results suggest that benchmarking and prevention efforts should be directed at specific occupational groups and specific injury types.

Initial assessment of the effect of the compulsory use of seat belts on car occupants' injuries, and the trauma department work-load.

The wearing of seat belts was made compulsory for all front seat car occupants at the beginning of February 1983. A survey carried out at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, a District General Hospital serving the West Berkshire area, has allowed assessment of the effect of legislation on the pattern of injuries sustained by car occupants involved in road traffic accidents, and of the effect it has had on the work-load of the Casualty Department and trauma wards. These preliminary findings show that there has been a change in the pattern of injuries sustained by car occupants in road traffic accidents following the introduction of compulsory seat belt use, but there has not been a significant drop in the work-load of the Trauma Department.
