“…[46][47][48] Injury incidences in high school basketball (1.94/1000 AEs), 46 soccer (2.4/1000 AEs), 48 and football (gridiron, 3.5/1000 AEs) 47 were all lower than those reported by Collins et al 19 (5.2/1000 AEs). Despite using a slightly different definition of time loss as more than 48 hours, studies of high school lacrosse (2.89/1000 playing hours) 49 and youth soccer (11.2/1000 match hours) 50 players also showed lower injury rates than did rugby players.…”

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.

“…[26][27][28][29][30] The reason for this difference is unknown, although some have theorized that female athletes have weaker neck muscles and a smaller head mass than their male counterparts. 31,32 Alternatively, male athletes may be more reluctant to report their injuries for fear of removal from competition, which may result in the incidence of concussion in boys being underestimated.…”

Sport-related concussion is a "hot topic" in the media and in medicine. It is a common injury that is likely underreported by pediatric and adolescent athletes. Football has the highest incidence of concussion, but girls have higher concussion rates than boys do in similar sports. A clear understanding of the definition, signs, and symptoms of concussion is necessary to recognize it and rule out more severe intracranial injury. Concussion can cause symptoms that interfere with school, social and family relationships, and participation in sports. Recognition and education are paramount, because although proper equipment, sport technique, and adherence to rules of the sport may decrease the incidence or severity of concussions, nothing has been shown to prevent them. Appropriate management is essential for reducing the risk of long-term symptoms and complications. Cognitive and physical rest is the mainstay of management after diagnosis, and neuropsychological testing is a helpful tool in the management of concussion. Return to sport should be accomplished by using a progressive exercise program while evaluating for any return of signs or symptoms. This report serves as a basis for understanding the diagnosis and management of concussion in children and adolescent athletes.

“…Hip pain in the athletically active population is a frequent entity [1,5]. It has become increasingly recognized that acetabular labral tears associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are a common cause of hip pain in this group and may contribute to the formation of degenerative arthritis of the hip [18,22].…”

Background Anecdotal evidence from second-look hip arthroscopies and animal studies has suggested spontaneous labral regrowth may occur after débridement. However, these observations have not been systematically confirmed. Questions/purposes We (1) determined whether labral regrowth occurs after débridement in human hips; (2) if so, described the characteristics of the reconstituted labrum; and (3) determined the association, if any, of age with the presence and quality of labral regrowth. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all 24 patients who previously had open hip surgical dislocation with labral débridement for treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and concomitant hip arthroscopy 2 years after index procedure in association with planned removal of trochanteric hardware between January and December 1999. Data recorded included amount of labral resection at the index procedure using the clockface method, presence and quality of any labral regrowth, presence of any labral scarring or inflammation, and WOMAC 1 scores. Minimum clinical followup was 11 years (average, 12 years; range, 11-12 years). Results All patients demonstrated labral regrowth at arthroscopy at 2 years. Homogeneous regrowth of labral height was seen in 21 of 24 patients, with labral scarring noted in four of 24. Average WOMAC 1 score was 98 points (range, 90-100 points) at the time of hardware removal. Increasing patient age was independently associated with decreased WOMAC
