TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Anal sphincter injury caused by falling off a trampoline JO - Duodecim: Laaketieteellinen Aikakauskirja A1 - Pakarinen, Mikko SP - 1392 EP - 1394 VL - 129 IS - 13 N2 - A girl of preschool age fell off a trampoline in a sitting position onto an iron bar sticking up from the ground. In addition to a laceration of the terminal portion of the rectum, she was found to have a severe sphincter injury. The sphincters were repaired by a surgeon the next morning. After one month from the surgery the anal canal pressure was found to be symmetrical with good contractile force of the sphincters. No abnormalities were found in a contrast study or in rectoscopy. The protective stoma was closed after three months from the injury and fecal continence was normal after one and a half years.
