Abstract:
:During the summers of 1987 and 1988, 14 cervical spine injuries sustained during bodysurfing accidents at the beaches around Ocean City, Maryland presented to our Neurotrauma service. All the patients were men, predominantly in their middle years (mean age = 40), and otherwise healthy. Likely mechanisms of injury suggested by radiography and computed tomography-myelography included hyperflexion, hyperextension, and axial loading. Clinically, neurologic deficits were found in 10 patients (71%), of whom 2 were complete sensorimotor quadriplegics below the level of injury, and 8 were incomplete injuries. Of the eight incomplete injuries, two-thirds were central cord syndromes associated with narrow spinal canals and prominent osteophytes, and one-third had Brown-Sequard or anterior cord syndromes. After initial anatomic realignment by closed or open reduction, the injured cervical spines were stabilized either externally or internally. Two patients underwent laminectomies. These bodysurfing accidents, in marked contrast to other types of shallow water-diving accidents, predominantly involved older men and produced incomplete injuries. It is concluded that bodysurfing is peculiarly hazardous to healthy, middle-aged men, especially those endowed with a narrow spinal canal with or without osteophyte formation.
