Sport participation and related head injuries following craniosynostosis correction: a survey study

CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide survey of postsurgical CS patients and parents, sport participation was exceedingly common, with contact sports being the most common sport category. Few head injuries (mostly concussions) were reported as related to sport participation. Although this is a selective sample of CS patients, the initial data suggest that sport participation, even in contact sports, and typically beginning a few years after CS correction, is safe and commonplace.PMID:33794495 | DOI:10.3171/2021.1.FOCUS20970
