The aim of this study was to analyse a case series of patients with forklift-related injuries over 7 years at a level 1 major trauma centre in the UK and present their patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) with long-term follow-up. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the largest case series study in the UK describing forklift injuries. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> Retrospective case note analysis of 19 patients over 7 years. Data including demographics, injury mechanism, pattern of injury, management, length of hospital stay, number of operations and complications were extracted from the notes. We used \u2018Enneking score\u2019 as a validated tool for PROMs. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Seventeen men and two women with mean age of 47 years; 20% had bilateral injuries and 34% had multi-level fractures. The mean number of theatre sessions was 5.21, while the mean length of hospital stay was 30.10 days. There was one mortality. Twelve patients (63%) required reconstruction with free tissue transfer, with one flap failure. The mean long-term Enneking percentage score was 57.33%. The mean Enneking score for patients in this study is lower than our institute\u2019s score for Gustilo 3B, highlighting the gravity of these injuries. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> Forklifts can cause grave injuries with massive energy transfer. This study highlights the seriousness of those injuries, thus guiding patient counselling and optimising planning of management. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1308\/rcsann.2020.7124","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T10:21:48Z","timestamp":1684146108000},"page":"730-733","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Forklift-related lower limb injuries: a retrospective case series study with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)"],"prefix":"10.1308","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"T","family":"Bage","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Baden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Filobbos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"171","reference":[{"key":"C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199911)36:5<513::AID-AJIM3>3.0.CO;2-K"},{"key":"C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199911)36:5<522::AID-AJIM4>3.0.CO;2-F"},{"key":"C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199810)34:4<351::AID-AJIM8>3.0.CO;2-V"},{"key":"C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715576486"},{"key":"C5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2012.06.453"},{"key":"C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.prs.0000246506.58128.ec"},{"key":"C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199604000-00020"},{"key":"C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4137\/HSI.S11093"},{"key":"C9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199301000-00035","volume":"286","author":"Enneking WF","year":"1993","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"C10","unstructured":"British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS).
