“…Table 3 is a matrix of the five positions in which most injuries occurred and the three most commonly injured body parts. The body part most commonly injured was the knee (51 total injuries), followed by the ankle (32), thigh (22), neck (17), and shoulder (11).…”

“…Several authors classify injuries by severity.2, 17,29,34 Others have categorized injuries by CIaSSeS.32,35,40 Time loss definitions also exist, but may have shortcomings because a player with a fracture may use protective equipment and continue to play. Definition based on severity of injury depends on the sensitivity of the person making the diagnosis.…”

A 4 year prospective study (1982 to 1985) of high school varsity football injuries from the four Peoria high school football teams was undertaken. Two hundred fifty-one injuries were recorded among a player population of 598, resulting in an injury rate of 42.1% per 100 players. All of the players followed a prescribed preseason summer conditioning program that was endorsed by the Illinois High School Athletic Association. The injuries were recorded on an athletic injury profile and entered into a computer for data analysis and retrieval. The injury distribution by player position showed that halfbacks, tackles, linebackers, and guards had a higher risk of injury than other positions. The knee was the body part injured most frequently (20.3%). A matrix of injuries to halfbacks was set up to examine the relationship of body part injured to type of play, time of injury, and activity during injury. An anthropometric study using the Quetelet index did not reveal any correlation between injury and body size when the injured players were compared with the non-injured players. Experience since 1969 has taught us many of the errors and pitfalls involved in injury surveillance. Strict adherence to recording of data will ensure an accurate and useful injury surveillance program.

“…[2][3][4][5] This study represents the largest, most comprehensive epidemiologic investigation of high school shoulder injuries to date. Investigations into the rates and patterns of shoulder injuries across both boys'and girls' sports as described in this study increase our understanding of injury risk factors and spur the development of injury prevention programs.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Shoulder injuries are common among high school athletes. These injuries, both traumatic and overuse, contribute to significant time loss from athletic activity. Understanding sport-specific injury patterns is critical for development of targeted injury prevention programs. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This study is the most comprehensive analysis of high school shoulder injuries to date, providing national injury estimates while examining injury rates, diagnoses, severity, and mechanisms of injury in 9 interscholastic sports. abstract OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to describe shoulder injuries in a nationally representative sample of high school athletes playing 9 sports. A national estimate of shoulder injuries among high school athletes was subsequently calculated.METHODS: Injury data were collected in 9 sports (boys' football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, and baseball; girls ' soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball) high school athletes in this study sustained 2798 shoulder injuries during 13 002 321 athlete exposures, for an injury rate of 2.15 per 10 000 athlete exposures. This corresponds to a nationally estimated 820 691 injuries during this time period. Rates of injury were higher in competition as compared with practice (rate ratio = 3.17 [95% confidence interval: 2.94-3.41]). The highest rate of injury was in football (4.86) and the lowest in girls' soccer (0.42). The most common types of injury were strain/sprain (37.9%) and dislocation/separation (29.2%). Boys were more likely than girls to sustain their injuries after contact with another person or with the playing surface. Surgical repair was required for 7.9% of the injuries. Time loss from athletic participation varied among sports, with 40.7% of athletes returning within 1 week, whereas 8.2% were medically disqualified for their season/career. CONCLUSIONS:High school shoulder injury rates and patterns varied by sport and gender. Prospective epidemiologic surveillance is warranted to discern trends and patterns to develop evidence-based interventions to prevent shoulder injuries. Pediatrics 2014;133:272-279

“…Earlier studies do not account for differential exposure time and only present rates per numbers of players. 9,10,13,19,27,33 Other investigators have used rates per number of games using the total number of sessions in a season as a denominator, 1 but this type of rate does not account for differences in numbers of sessions by players.…”
