Abstract
A 6-yr review of auger injuries in Manitoba [Canada] children revealed that 23 children sustained major injuries resulting in amputation of 17 limbs. Auger injuries were the main cause of traumatic amputation in children in Manitoba. Improved safety education for the entire farm family as well as better design of safety shields would decrease these injuries.
