Abstract

A 16-month retrospective review was performed of patients brought to Lake of the Ozarks General Hospital Emergency Department for treatment of injuries suffered in personal watercraft accidents. Fourteen of 37 patients showed clinical and radiographic evidence of fractures or internal injuries. Personal watercraft accidents are a significant cause of morbidity in a lake resort community population.
