“…Central defenders and specialists had the highest injury incidence. Thighs, ankles, as well as foot and toes (altogether 12 injuries, 13.8%) were the three most frequently injured anatomic sites (Achenbach et al, 2018).…”

The development of sports medicine and rehabilitation with the great involvement of techniques and modern technology have increased the needs and possibilities for quick diagnosis and more adequate treatment. Regular companions of sports activities are sport injuries of various parts of the body, depending on the type and conditions in which sport activity is performed. In this paper, we analyzed knee injuries because they are the most dominant. The knee, which is the largest, the most complex and the most stressed joint, is most exposed to injuries. We analyzed 124 respondents who were treated in the Ribarska Banja, by physical and balneological treatment, during the period 2005-2006. Anamnestic data, as the most common cause of injury, include insufficient training, insufficient physical preparedness, rough start of an opponent or uneven terrain. The knee joint is the most commonly injured region in athletes, and because of the complexity of the joint itself, these injuries are very complicated. Balneal treatment showed positive effects on healing and accelerated return to the field. Balneo Climatic Treatment is always accompanied with certain methods of physical therapy and rehabilitation, and all of them together can accelerate healing. The successful return to the field depends on the applied therapeutic methods and on an early beginning of therapeutic treatment.

“…The size of the ball may play a role in trauma mechanism, as noted in goalkeepers in football [17,18]. The heavier ball used in indoor handball may explain the difference between the higher injury rate of hand and wrist injury in handball compared to beach handball [19]. The dominant hand had sustained more injuries than the non-dominant hand.…”

Introduction Hand and wrist injuries have been described as the second most common severe injuries in handball. However, no evidence exists regarding the specific characteristics of these injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the injury pattern of hand and wrist injuries in youth handball. Materials and Methods Two-hundred and ninety-six adolescent elite handball players (mean age: 14.0 ± 0.8 years) completed a retrospective survey regarding their hand and wrist injuries during the previous season. The injury questionnaire was adapted from sports-specific questionnaires to the demands of hand and wrist injuries in handball and included injury location, type of injury and injury severity. Results One-hundred and twenty-three (42 %) players reported 156 injuries (0.53 injuries per season per player) to their hands or wrists in the past season. Injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joints were most frequently described (n = 74, 47 %). The thumb was involved in 46 (29 %) cases. Sprains (n = 113, 72 %) were the most common type of injury. Thirty-six percent of moderate and severe injuries (> 7 days time loss) had not been treated by a physician. Conclusions The rates of hand and wrist injuries are high in youth elite handball. Injury prevention strategies and return to competition criteria should focus on the thumb and the interphalangeal joints. Further research into these injuries is essential to identify risk factors and to develop adequate injury prevention measures.

“…Insgesamt zeigt sich der Sandsport als deutlich ungefährlicher bezüglich moderaten und schweren Verletzungen als Hallenhandball. In der bisher einzigen Studie aus der Europameisterschaft 2017 wurde eine deutlich niedrigere Anzahl (17 %) an Time-loss-Verletzungen als im Hallenhandball, insbesondere gegenüber den internationalen Hallenturnieren, demonstriert [38]. Von allen Verletzungen hatten nur 3 % eine Ausfallzeit von mehr als 3 Tagen und keine von mehr als 7 Tagen.…”

ZusammenfassungHandball ist durch eine hohe Verletzungsrate gekennzeichnet. Aktuelle epidemiologische Studien, die die Charakteristik des Handballs besser berücksichtigen, zeichnen hierbei ein deutliches Bild des Verletzungsmusters und -risikos für Handballspielerinnen und -spieler. Während die Hälfte der Spieler nach einer akuten Verletzung mit einer medizinischen Behandlung weiterspielen und trainieren können, so geht die andere Hälfte der Verletzungen mit Verlust an Trainings- und Spielzeit einher. Zwar zeigen sich die erlittenen Verletzungen im Ligabetrieb häufig mit einem Kontaktmechanismus assoziiert, jedoch sind diese nur wenig mit Foulspiel verbunden, sodass im Handball ein hohes Präventionspotenzial vorhanden ist. Die Handballmedizin zeigt dabei große Bemühungen, das Verletzungsrisiko ihres Sports primär reduzieren zu wollen. Die bereits vorhandene Evidenz für Reduktionsmöglichkeiten von Knieverletzungen muss nun in den Trainingsalltag implementiert werden. Aufgrund der hohen Prävalenz von Überlastungsverletzungen der Wurfschulter wurden auch hier die ersten Erkenntnisse in ein Präventionsprogramm umgesetzt. Dieser Artikel wird dies im Detail beschreiben.
