The aim of this study is to describe injury patterns, treatment and outcome after forklift truck accidents in the context of the employers\u02bc liability insurance association.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods Retrospective data collection of all cases between 2004 and 2019. Excluded were patients &lt;\u200918 years, without follow-up or with definitive external treatment. Trauma mechanism, injury patterns and distribution, treatment, complications, time of incapacity for work, return to work and impairment of earning capacity were recorded.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results Of 109 patients with 110 injuries, 52.7% showed isolated injuries and 47.3% combined injuries, which affected the lower extremity in 95 cases. There were fractures in 85.5%, including 32.7% in open form. The mean length of stay was 29.1 days (range 1\u200a\u2013\u200a129); an indication for surgery was seen in 80.9%. Surgical treatment required an average of 3 interventions, with significantly more operations for soft tissue closure than for the fractures (p\u2009\u2264\u20090.023). Amputations were necessary in 8 cases; complications occurred in 29.1%. Return to work was possible in 90%, after a mean period of incapacity for work of 33.6 weeks. A total of 40% showed a pensionable impairment of earning capacity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion Accidents with forklift trucks result in complex lower extremities injuries with the need of multi-stage treatment and show relatively high complication rates. A return to work is often possible after a long period of convalescence, and a pensionable impairment of earning capacity often persists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1402-1649","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,19]],"date-time":"2021-04-19T22:55:26Z","timestamp":1618872926000},"page":"539-548","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Injuries
