“…It must be taken into account that, considering the sample universe of 12,000 federated canoeists in Spain, the statistical representativeness of the data obtained is reduced to 50% heterogeneity, 8% margin of error and 92% confidence level; and (e) the specific type of injuries or their origin in direct trauma was not taken into account, a variable that should be analysed in future research. For all the above, new investigations should be carried out on the prevalence, incidence, and etiopathogenesis of musculoskeletal injuries in canoeists that analyse the evolution of the injuries, their possible recurrence and the rate of abandonment due to serious injuries and its relationship with sports technique and posture sway during canoeing [29,30].…”

Knowing the most frequent injuries in canoeists is important, considering the consequences for the athlete’s sports career, health, and labour, social and economic life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the most frequent injuries among high-level canoeists and the intrinsic variables of the sport’s practice (years of practice, number of training sessions per week, and stretching habit) that can influence the appearance of such injuries. An observational, transversal, and retrospective epidemiological study was carried out with 122 canoeists that completed a sport injuries questionnaire (number, body area, type, and severity of injuries). The ratio of injuries per participant was 1.1 injuries/year in men; and 1.5 injuries/year in women. Shoulder injuries were the most frequent, followed by knee injuries (in women) and lower back (in men), and the other segments of the upper limbs. In men, injuries occurred more frequently in the central period of training sessions and in women during the last 15 min of training sessions. Then, there is a common profile of injuries in canoeists: Being a female, having more years of sports practice, and never executing stretching exercises are associated with predisposing factors to injuries.

“…They compared these data with two prior study populations followed during 1998-2001 [107] and 2009-2012 [102] and found an increase in the proportion of finger PPSIs. Finger PPSIs were seen in 0.8% of cases between 1998 and 2001 [107], 3.4% of all cases during 2009-2012 [102], and were present in 7.3% of all finger injuries during 2017-2018 [109].…”

“…During crimping, there is a translation of the base of the middle phalanx in relation to the head of the proximal phalanx [16]. This translation decreases the joint's congruence and joint contact area and shifts the point of maximum pressure more dorsally, leading to an increased risk of PPSI [16,109].…”

Primary Periphyseal Stress Injuries in Young Athletes: A Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Background Overuse injuries are common in sporting children and adolescents. These injuries are a particular concern when they involve the epiphyseal-physeal-metaphyseal (EPM) complex given their potential to disturb skeletal growth. Specifically, the limits of mechanical tolerance of the EPM complex to repetitive stress may be exceeded by the intense and continuous training characteristic of many youth sports today. Objective This article describes the present status of knowledge on the occurrence and outcome of primary periphyseal stress injuries (PPSIs) affecting the EPM complex in the extremities of children and adolescents involved in youth sports. Methods A comprehensive review of the sports medicine literature was conducted to determine the nature and extent of PPSIs affecting the EPM complex of the extremities among youth sports participants and the potential for consequent skeletal growth disturbance and resultant limb deformity associated with these injuries. Results Our initial search uncovered 128 original published scientific articles reporting relevant data on PPSIs. There were 101 case reports/series, 19 cross-sectional, 1 case-control, and 7 cohort studies with relevant data. The case reports/series studies reported 448 patients with PPSIs involving the extremities. Children and adolescents representing a variety of high impact repetitive youth sports activities-including baseball, badminton, climbing, cricket, dance, gymnastics, rugby, soccer, swimming, tennis, and volleyball-may sustain PPSIs involving the shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, knee, and ankle and foot. Although incidence data from prospective cohort studies are lacking, data arising from cross-sectional studies suggest that PPSIs may be common in select groups of youth athletes-including the shoulder in baseball players (0-36.6%), wrist in gymnasts (10-83%) and platform divers (52.6%), and fingers in rock climbers (5-58%). Notably, not all stress-related skeletal changes detected on imaging were symptomatic in these studies. When diagnosed and treated with an appropriate period of rest and rehabilitation, most patients studied were able to return to their sport activities. However, our data also show that 57/448 PPSIs (12.7%) produced growth disturbance, and that 28/448 patients (6.2%) underwent surgery for their injuries. Absence of treatment, delayed presentation and diagnosis, and non-compliance with a rest regimen were common in cases that produced growth disturbance. Conclusions PPSIs may affect the extremities of children and adolescents engaged in a variety of youth sports, especially at advanced levels of training and competition. Most skeletally immature patients with PPSIs respond well to timely treatment; however, in extreme cases, PPSIs can progress to produce skeletal growth disruption which may necessitate surgical intervention. Clearly, establishing the early diagnosis of PPSIs and providing timely treatment of these injuries are needed to ensure the skeletal health of youth sports participants. Rigorous prospective lo...
