TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Roll seat belt induced injury of the duodenum JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Hedelin, H. A1 - Bergqvist, D. SP - 390 EP - 394 VL - 16 IS - 5 N2 - A case of duodenal rupture with a roll three-point seatbelt is described. It is apparently the seventh reported case of duodenal rupture in safety belt users. A female driver fell asleep, and her car went off the road, rolling forward in a ditch, slowing slightly, and then came to a sudden stop. The rupture was unusual: on the first part of duodenum, intraperitoneal, and longitudinal. The rupture mechanism is discussed, and the deficiencies of the roll seatbelt pointed out in accidents like the one described. LA - SN - 0022-5282 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
