Abstract:
Although the risk of incurring factures of the upper extremity that are associated with in-line skating is well known, the incidence of low extremity injuries was reported to be low and so this has not yet been highlighted so far. We have experienced two cases of intertrochanteric fractures that occurred to active, middle-aged adults during in-line skating and we report on these cases along with a review of the relevant literatures.
