    Author: Sobel AD, Reid DB, Blood TD, Daniels AH, Cruz AI.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2017 Nov; 190():271-274. PubMed ID: 29144253.
    Abstract:
    Hoverboards pose a significant risk of musculoskeletal injury to pediatric riders. A prospectively enrolled cohort yielded 9 pediatric patients injured while riding hoverboards in 2016. Eight of the injuries involved the upper extremity, and one involved the lower extremity. No riders wore any safety equipment and injury patterns modeled those seen in skateboard riders.
