INTRODUCTION: Farming is a major industry in Ireland, employing 6% of the
workforce but accounts for 40% of workplace fatalities (Meredith, 2008).(1) The
use of machinery and proximity to large livestock poses significant risk for
spinal injuries. This study reviews mechanism of injury, injuries sustained, and
the treatment undertaken. RESULTS: Of 31 patients, 26 sustained high-energy
injuries with machinery and livestock implicated in the majority of accidents.
77% sustained poly-trauma and 52% had permanent neurological injury. CONCLUSIONS:
The proximity to heavy machinery and livestock pose significant risk for spinal
injuries. This study should encourage increased efforts to improve farm safety.
