Epidemiologic trends in hand injuries in the National Football League from 2009-2010 to 2019-2020
CONCLUSION: Hand injuries decreased in prevalence by 65.6% over the 11 NFL seasons evaluated. This trend coincides with the implementation of several safety rules that relate to components of play involving the hands. Quarterbacks experienced the greatest prevalence and severity for all hand injuries. Wrist injuries represent the anatomic location associated with the greatest severity. These findings may be able to inform tailored injury prevention practices by position, and advocate for the further adoption of safety rules to protect players from further injury.PMID:37994029 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2286942 (Source: Th...

Knockout rates across the states as a way of predicting injury and knockout Based on Fighter sex, weight, or experience
Phys Sportsmed. 2023 Nov 22. doi: 10.1080/00913847.2023.2285716. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCombat sports, such as boxing and mixed martial arts [MMA], have the unique objective to finish a bout by way of knockout [KO] or technical knockout [TKO]. There are potentially both short- and long-term neurological injuries that can happen as a result of the repeated head trauma sustained in bouts, and thus it is imperative to identify the athletes that are at increased risk. Using an online database of professional boxing bouts [boxrec.com] over a 6-month period, KO/TKO rates were calculated across different states, weight cla...

Injury incidence among adolescent and senior basketball players: a prospective study in 19 teams across an entire season
CONCLUSION: The players examined were most susceptible to ankle and knee injuries, particularly during games compared to training. Ankle injuries were mostly attributed to player contact, while knee injuries were mostly attributed to overuse and non-contact mechanisms. Senior players were at a greater risk of sustaining contact, non-contact and recurrent injuries than adolescent players.PMID:37965758 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2023.2284133 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)
