“…[2][3][4][5] This study represents the largest, most comprehensive epidemiologic investigation of high school shoulder injuries to date. Investigations into the rates and patterns of shoulder injuries across both boys'and girls' sports as described in this study increase our understanding of injury risk factors and spur the development of injury prevention programs.…”

“…1 Sport participation is beneficial to overall health, but carries with it a significant risk of injury. Shoulder injuries are noted to be among the top 3 most common body sites of injury among high school football players, 2,3 the most common site among high school and collegiate wrestlers, 4 and the fifth most common site among all high school athletes. 5 Types of sports-related shoulder injury are varied but can generally be categorized as either acutely traumatic or secondary to overuse.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Shoulder injuries are common among high school athletes. These injuries, both traumatic and overuse, contribute to significant time loss from athletic activity. Understanding sport-specific injury patterns is critical for development of targeted injury prevention programs. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study is the most comprehensive analysis of high school shoulder injuries to date, providing national injury estimates while examining injury rates, diagnoses, severity, and mechanisms of injury in 9 interscholastic sports. abstract OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to describe shoulder injuries in a nationally representative sample of high school athletes playing 9 sports. A national estimate of shoulder injuries among high school athletes was subsequently calculated.METHODS: Injury data were collected in 9 sports (boys' football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball; girls ' soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball) high school athletes in this study sustained 2798 shoulder injuries during 13 002 321 athlete exposures, for an injury rate of 2.15 per 10 000 athlete exposures. This corresponds to a nationally estimated 820 691 injuries during this time period. Rates of injury were higher in competition as compared with practice (rate ratio = 3.17 [95% confidence interval: 2.94-3.41]). The highest rate of injury was in football (4.86) and the lowest in girls' soccer (0.42). The most common types of injury were strain/sprain (37.9%) and dislocation/separation (29.2%). Boys were more likely than girls to sustain their injuries after contact with another person or with the playing surface. Surgical repair was required for 7.9% of the injuries. Time loss from athletic participation varied among sports, with 40.7% of athletes returning within 1 week, whereas 8.2% were medically disqualified for their season/career. CONCLUSIONS:High school shoulder injury rates and patterns varied by sport and gender. Prospective epidemiologic surveillance is warranted to discern trends and patterns to develop evidence-based interventions to prevent shoulder injuries. Pediatrics 2014;133:272-279

Context: More than 1.6 million sport-related concussions occur every year in the United States, affecting greater than 5% of all high school athletes who participate in contact sports. As more females participate in sports, understanding possible differences in concussion symptoms between sexes becomes more important.Objective: To compare symptoms, symptom resolution time, and time to return to sport between males and females with sport-related concussions.Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting: Data were collected from 100 high schools via High School RIO (Reporting Information Online).Patients or Other Participants: Athletes from participating schools who sustained concussions while involved in interscholastic sports practice or competition in 9 sports (boys' football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball and girls ' soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball) Main Outcome Measure(s): Reported symptoms, symptom resolution time, and return-to-play time.Results: No difference was found between the number of symptoms reported (P 5 .30). However, a difference was seen in the types of symptoms reported. In year 1, males reported amnesia (exact P 5 .03) and confusion/disorientation (exact P 5 .04) more frequently than did females. In year 2, males reported more amnesia (exact P 5 .002) and confusion/ disorientation (exact P 5 .002) than did females, whereas females reported more drowsiness (exact P 5 .02) and sensitivity to noise (exact P 5 .002) than did males. No differences were observed for symptom resolution time (P 5 .40) or return-to-play time (P 5 .43) between sexes.Conclusions: The types of symptoms reported differed between sexes after sport-related concussion, but symptom resolution time and return-to-play timelines were similar.

Aim: Dermatologic diseases are commonly found in people engaged in contact sports. Particularly wrestlers can easily contract skin infections. The aim of this study is to reveal the incidence of infectious skin diseases engaged in wrestling athletes living in different climate regions. Material and Methods: Three hundred nineteen volunteer who actively wrestle in different climate regions of Turkey participated to the research. All of the athletes were asked the questions in the survey of "Personal History and Dermatological Examination Findings of Athlete". The findings and diagnoses of each wrestler were then recorded and evaluated. Results: Dermatological diseases were observed in 195 (61.12%) Turkish wrestlers, 84 (26.33%) in the eastern region, 43 (13.47%) in the inland region and 68 (21.32%) in the coastal region. These diseases were 118 (36.99%) fungal, 49 (15.36) bacterial and 28 (8.77%) viral, respectively. It was found that infectious dermatological diseases were observed more frequently in the eastern and coastal regions than inland region and this difference was statistically significant. (P = 0.045).
