- •The lack of visceral scooter injuries suggests that physicians should have a higher clinical threshold for ordering imaging of these regions in patients with scooter injuries.
- •Hospitals or regulatory agencies may want to institute tracking measures of scooter injuries to capture the true prevalence of scooter injuries in the future.
