N2  - Skating is a favourite sport in the Netherlands. Injury data on skating were collected from the emergency departments of 6 hospitals in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands during the Eleven Cities ice skating marathon over 200 kilometers in January 1997, with 16,688 participants. Among a total of 55 fractures, the maxillofacial skeleton had a relative high fracture frequency (n = 7; 13%), especially the zygomatic complex (n = 6); one patient had a mandibular fracture. An innocent-looking black eye, unilateral numbness of the upper lip and malocclusion following a skating accident merit full medical attention.<p /> <p>Language: nl</p>
