Objectives: The aim of our study is to understand the types of injuries patients experience from snowblowers, along with their treatment, and outcomes.

Methods: Snowblower injuries at a level one trauma center were identified over a 10-year period. Mechanism, injury, treatment, and follow-up were recorded from the medical record, and functional outcomes via QuickDASH were collected when available.

Results: Of 52 patients, 94% were male with an average age of 50 years and 83% of patients sustained the injury by unclogging the machine. All patients required partial revision amputation and/or closure; 43% of patients underwent surgery with 18% requiring reoperation. Seven patients were interviewed and reported varying limitations.

Conclusion: The injuries in our cohort were universally severe, often leading to amputation and surgery. Further studies are needed to better characterize the resulting degree of disability.
