Kids rolling into the ER on popular sneakers
Trendy wheeled sneakers that let kids zip down sidewalks, across playgrounds and through mall crowds could also send them rolling into emergency rooms on a stretcher,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], say doctors who blame a rash of injuries on the international craze.
It's called "heeling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," named after Heelys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the most popular brand. They're sold in 70 countries and are so hot that their Carrollton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Texas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maker, Heelys Inc.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recently landed atop BusinessWeek's annual list of fastest growing companies.
But doctors from Ireland to Singapore have reported treating broken wrists, arms and ankles; dislocated elbows and even cracked skulls in children injured while wearing roller shoes. Consumer Product Safety Commission,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a spokesman said last week.
And doctors in Singapore reported last year that 37 children had been treated for similar injuries at a hospital there during a seven-month period in 2004. None were wearing protective gear.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, based in Rosemont, Illinois, this week is issuing new safety advice that recommends helmets, wrist protectors and knee and elbow pads for kids who wear wheeled shoes.
"As these shoes are sold in department stores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], parents buying them may develop a false sense of security -- that they are like any other shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Dr. James Beaty, academy president and a pediatric orthopedic surgeon in Memphis.
Heelys and their knockoffs look like gym shoes, but with wheel sockets in each heel. They can be used for walking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the wheels pop out when users shift their weight to their heels.
Balancing on the wheels can be tricky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially for novices. In the Irish study, most injuries were in new users and occurred when kids fell backward while trying to transfer their body weight.
Dr. Leon Benson of Evanston Northwestern Healthcare in Evanston, Illinois, recalled treating a 9-year-old girl who'd had her Heelys for just a week when she fell and broke both wrists.
Nine-year-old Noah Woelfel of Davidsonville, Maryland, wasn't a novice but still tripped and fell, breaking several fingers and wrist bones in his right hand last year.
"All it took was a tiny piece of gravel in the driveway that went up in the wheel and stopped him cold," said his mother,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nancy. "He required surgery and pins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he was six weeks without using his hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], right at the beginning of school."
She threw the removable wheels away and said other parents should know about the risks.
Dr. Dominic Catanese, a foot specialist at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, said balancing on heels can strain feet and Achilles tendons. He has treated several Heelys-related ankle injuries and won't let his 7-year-old daughter have the shoes.
"She wants them. Not happening. Just like I took away her trampoline" after reading about trampoline injuries. "It went right to Goodwill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Catanese said.
Heelys in April said a study it commissioned shows that their shoes have a safer injury rate than skateboarding, inline skating and even swimming.
The shoes are sold with safety information including a recommendation to wear protective gear.
The company says it has shipped more than 10 million pairs since their introduction in 2000. Heelys reported first-quarter income of $8.5 million, five times higher than last year.相关的主题文章：
