“…1 In recent years, surveys in the United Kingdom and the United States have shown an increase in the number of young people presenting to emergency departments with rugby-related injuries. [2][3][4][5] Sports injuries can have significant effects on the health and well-being of young athletes. Minimizing their effects is best achieved by developing appropriate injury-prevention strategies based on well-defined epidemiologic studies, which accurately establish the extent of an injury problem and the true risks within a given sport.…”

Objective: Despite recent increases in the volume of research in professional rugby union, there is little consensus on the epidemiology of injury in adolescent players. We undertook a systematic review to determine the incidence, severity, and nature of injury in adolescent rugby union players.Data Sources: In April 2009, we performed a computerized literature search on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (via Ovid). Population-specific and patient-specific search terms were combined in the form of MEDLINE subject headings and key words (wound$ and injur$, rugby, adolescent$). These were supplemented with relatedcitation searches on PubMed and bibliographic tracking of primary and review articles.Study Selection: Prospective epidemiologic studies in adolescent rugby union players.Data Synthesis: A total of 15 studies were included, and the data were analyzed descriptively. Two independent reviewers extracted key study characteristics regarding the incidence, severity, and nature of injuries and the methodologic design. Conclusions:Wide variations existed in the injury definitions and data collection procedures. The incidence of injury necessitating medical attention varied with the definition, from 27.5 to 129.8 injuries per 1000 match hours. The incidence of timeloss injury (>7 days) ranged from 0.96 to 1.6 per 1000 playing hours and from 11.4/1000 match hours (>1 day) to 12-22/1000 match hours (missed games). The highest incidence of concussion was 3.3/1000 playing hours. No catastrophic injuries were reported. The head and neck, upper limb, and lower limb were all common sites of injury, and trends were noted toward greater time loss due to upper limb fractures or dislocations and knee ligament injuries. Increasing age, the early part of the playing season, and the tackle situation were most closely associated with injury. Future injury-surveillance studies in rugby union must follow consensus guidelines to facilitate interstudy comparisons and provide further clarification as to where injuryprevention strategies should be focused.Key Words: injury incidence, injury surveillance, high school athletes Key Points• Injury definitions and data collection procedures varied across studies, making comparisons difficult.• The head and neck, upper limb, and lower limb were common sites of injury.• Factors associated most often with injury were increasing age, early playing season, and tackles.

Changes in sports injuries to children between 1983 and 1998: comparison of case series

Abstract: Sports injury rates have increased considerably over 15 years. With minimal population change, little variation in minor injuries and only small improvements in data capture, the main reason for change appears to be increased participation.
