Head injury is one of the commonest injuries in sport. Most are mild but some can have serious outcomes. Sports medicine doctors should be able to recognise the clinical features and evaluate athletes with head injury. It is necessary during field assessment to recognise signs and symptoms that help in assessing the severity of injury and making a decision to return-to-play. Prevention of primary head injury should be the aim. This includes protective equipment like helmets and possible rule changes.
头部损伤是运动中最常见的损伤之一。大多数是轻度的，但有些可能会有严重的后果。运动医学医生应该能够识别临床特征，并对头部受伤的运动员进行评估。在现场评估中，有必要识别有助于评估损伤严重程度并做出是否重返赛场的决定的体征和症状。预防原发性头部损伤应是目标。这包括使用头盔等防护设备和可能的规则更改。
