A recent study on high school athletes indentifies the rate of severe injuries by sport, gender and injury area, and underscores the need for injury prevention.
“Other studies have shown injury rates by sport; however; very few studies have highlighted the severity of injuries per sport,” Dawn Comstock, PhD, a study author and assistant professor at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, said in an American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) press release.
The study appears in the September issue of the American Journal of Sports Medicine.
