Abstract

Modernization of agriculture has been accompanied by frequent injuries among the farmers. Over 12 months of observation we recorded 94 »agricultural« injuries. They were found to be connected with season and had a characteristic etiology. The injuries of the head, trunk and polytraumas were consequences of failures in agricultural machinery handling. Injuries caused by huskers and motor-saws almost always had the characteristics of grave hand traumas. It is suggested that the introduction of a multidisciplinary preventive approach could reduce the number of injuries.
