[Finger and shoulder injuries in rock climbing].

CONCLUSIONS: Finger injuries are common in sports climbing and can be challenging to diagnose and treat correctly. The number of shoulder injuries is expected to rise as new competition modalities and sub-disciplines (e.g. bouldering) increasingly stress athletes' musculoskeletal systems. An increase of degenerative injuries in long-time climbers is expected due to changes in the sport. PMID: 31705177 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
