At the intersection of injury-prone sports such as baseball and conditions like ADHD that affect all aspects of life, there is a lack of research. This limits the availability of preventive care programs designed to target potential risks and promote a safe experience. In this retrospective cohort study, we assess the frequency of injury in youth baseball players with and without ADHD, along with further investigation into how treatment with stimulant medication may modify risk factors. The data for this study were obtained in deidentified, aggregate format from the TriNetX research database. We identified all patients under 25 years of age with a designation of baseball activity. Within this population, we separated patients by presence or absence of ADHD diagnosis, and then by stimulant usage. The studied outcomes were injuries commonly occurring in baseball, including fractures, sprains, and specific injury patterns. We identified 17,710 patients under 25 years old with designated baseball activity, 1,183 of which had a diagnosis of ADHD. Of these, 511 had a history of stimulant medication and 470 had no history of stimulant use. For most events (i.e., injuries), there were no statistical differences between cohorts. The overall ADHD cohort significantly differed from the Not ADHD cohort in 3 events: “thorax, abdomen, pelvis injuries,” “ankle sprain,” and “concussion.” When athletes with ADHD received treatment, this trend reversed for select injuries: “any fracture”, “head or neck injuries”, “upper limb injuries”, and “lower limb injuries” were less likely in ADHD athletes on stimulants. Given the ongoing debate around stimulant use in athletics, our study is relevant to many patients, providers, and the baseball community.

“…The increased rate of sprains in patients with overall ADHD and ADHD without stimulant use could be caused by a variety of ADHD factors. For example, an athlete with decreased situational awareness may decide to slide without appropriate recognition of another player's positioning, leading to collision ( 16 ).…”

When treating traumatic sports injuries, glucopuncture (GP) is a new treatment modality with an interesting benefits risk ratio. GP is defined as the clinical application of multiple glucose 5% injections into soft tissues to modulate pain and to support tissue repair. Unfortunately, no large randomized clinical trials have confirmed its effectiveness so far. This article describes a clinical case of traumatic periostitis treated with GP. It invites the medical community for further basic-science and clinical studies to clarify the potential benefits of local glucose 5% injections for traumatic periostitis in professional athletes.

“…Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan olahraga baseball lebih besar angka kejadian cedera yang terjadi pada bagian kepala dibandingkan dengan olahraga softball. Farooqi et al (2021) juga menyatakan hal yang sama pada penelitiannya, bahwa ada proporsi yang lebih besar dari cedera bagian kepala pada baseball sebesar 41% dibandingkan dengan cedera pada softball yang sebesar 30%. Tungkai dan kaki serta lengan dan tangan sering terjadi cedera dalam permainan baseball dan softball, karena sesuai dengan karakteristik permainan yaitu melempar, menangkap, dan memukul.…”

“…Hasil terebut menunjukkan angka kejadian cedera oleh benturan dengan lawan pada olahraga baseball lebih besar dibandingkan dengan olahraga softball. Hasil tersebut sama seperti hasil penelitian Farooqi et al (2021) bahwa atlet baseball lebih besar mengalami cedera akibat kontak dengan pemain lawan daripada atlet softball yang besarannya sekitar 49% berbanding 40%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di atas, dapat diperoleh berbagai fakta jenis-jenis cedera, bagian-bagian tubuh yang mengalami cedera, dan penyebab-penyebab cedera, sehingga mampu memberikan informasi pengetahuan kepada stakeholder (akademisi maupun praktisi) olahraga terkhususnya baseball dan softball tentang cedera yang terjadi dalam olahraga baseball dan softball secara nyata.…”
