Rugby is the third most popular team contact sport in the world and is increasing in popularity. In 1995, rugby in Europe turned professional, and with this has come an increased rate of injury.
In a six-month period from July to December, two open reduction and internal fixations of acetabular fractures were performed in young Caucasian men (16 and 24 years old) who sustained their injuries after rugby tackles. Both of these cases are described as well as the biomechanical factors contributing to the fracture and the recovery. Acetabular fractures of the hip during sport are rare occurrences.
Our recent experience of two cases over a six-month period creates concern that these high-energy injuries may become more frequent as rugby continues to adopt advanced training regimens. Protective equipment is unlikely to reduce the forces imparted across the hip joint; however, limiting 'the tackle' to only two players may well reduce the likelihood of this life-altering injury.
橄榄球是世界上第三受欢迎的团体对抗性运动,且其受欢迎程度正在不断提高。1995年,欧洲的橄榄球运动转为职业赛事,随之而来的是受伤率的上升。
在7月至12月的六个月期间,对两名年轻白人男性(分别为16岁和24岁)进行了髋臼骨折的切开复位内固定手术,他们在橄榄球擒抱后受伤。描述了这两个病例以及导致骨折和恢复的生物力学因素。运动期间发生的髋部髋臼骨折很少见。
我们在六个月内处理两例此类病例的近期经验令人担忧,随着橄榄球运动继续采用先进的训练方案,这些高能量损伤可能会变得更加频繁。防护装备不太可能减少作用于髋关节的力量;然而,将“擒抱”限制在仅两名球员之间可能会大大降低这种改变人生的损伤的发生可能性。
