Abstract

Since 2017, standing electric scooters (e-scooters) have been deploying rapidly in metropolitan areas worldwide, with an increasing number of injuries being reported.1–4 Based on current literature, understanding facial trauma in the context of e-scooter use remains understudied. Most prior studies have grouped facial fractures in aggregate without specifying exact patterns. Moreover, none have examined ophthalmologic sequelae.
