There are limited data on injuries sustained during men's lacrosse. As the sport gains popularity, practitioners will be more likely to treat lacrosse players.
To analyze data from the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships.
Descriptive epidemiology study.
This was a prospective observational study of injuries reported during the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships. An injury surveillance questionnaire was completed, and data were categorized into body part injured, diagnosis, mechanism, and time of injury.
Over 9 days, 667 players from 29 countries competed in 105 games. A total of 150 injuries were sustained by 129 individuals aged 16 to 46 years. Five times more injuries occurred during games than in training (69.3% [n = 104] vs 13.3% [n = 20]; rate ratio [95% CI] = 5.2 [4.9-5.5]), resulting in 39.5 injuries per 1000 hours played. The most frequent mechanism was contact (53.3%; n = 80), including direct impact with another player (30%; n = 45), with a stick (16.7%; n = 25), or with a ball (5.3%; n = 8). Change of direction and/or speed were the most common noncontact mechanisms (27.3%; n = 41). The most frequently reported injuries were contusions (32.0%; n = 48), sprains (22.7%; n = 34), and strains (22.7%; n = 34). The lower limb was the most injured body part (50.7%; n = 76) compared with the upper limb (23.3%; n = 35; rate ratio [95% CI] = 2.2 [2.1-2.3]). The ankle was the most injured joint (14.0%; n = 21), followed by the shoulder (10.0%; n = 15).
As participation expands, health professionals may become more responsible for treating lacrosse players. Players are susceptible to a range of injuries. Familiarity with the common injury patterns could help treatment and prevention. Despite differences in rules during international competition, this study corroborates reports from North America.
The epidemiology of men's lacrosse injuries needs to be documented and understood to effectively prevent injuries. The 2014 World Championships are to be held in Denver, Colorado (July 10-19, 2014), and it is important that practitioners treating players are aware of the differences in the international game. Publication of these data will allow for those planning lacrosse tournaments to do so more effectively.
男子曲棍球运动中的受伤情况数据有限。随着该运动的普及，从事这项运动的人可能会更多地治疗曲棍球运动员。
分析 2010 年世界曲棍球锦标赛的数据。
描述性流行病学研究。
这是一项针对 2010 年世界曲棍球锦标赛期间报告的受伤情况的前瞻性观察研究。完成了一份伤害监测问卷，数据被分为受伤部位、诊断、机制和受伤时间。
在 9 天的时间里，来自 29 个国家的 667 名运动员参加了 105 场比赛。共有 129 名年龄在 16 至 46 岁的运动员发生了 150 起伤害。比赛中发生的伤害是训练中的 5 倍（69.3%[n=104]与 13.3%[n=20]；发生率比[95%可信区间]为 5.2[4.9-5.5]），导致每 1000 小时比赛中发生 39.5 次伤害。最常见的机制是接触（53.3%；n=80），包括与另一名球员直接碰撞（30%；n=45）、与球棒（16.7%；n=25）或与球（5.3%；n=8）。变向和/或速度是最常见的非接触机制（27.3%；n=41）。最常报告的伤害是挫伤（32.0%；n=48）、扭伤（22.7%；n=34）和拉伤（22.7%；n=34）。下肢是受伤最严重的部位（50.7%；n=76），其次是上肢（23.3%；n=35；发生率比[95%可信区间]为 2.2[2.1-2.3]）。踝关节是最易受伤的关节（14.0%；n=21），其次是肩部（10.0%；n=15）。
随着参与度的增加，医务人员可能会更多地负责治疗曲棍球运动员。运动员容易受到多种伤害。熟悉常见的受伤模式有助于治疗和预防。尽管国际比赛规则不同，但本研究证实了来自北美的报告。
需要记录和了解男子曲棍球运动损伤的流行病学，以便有效预防损伤。2014 年世界锦标赛将于 2014 年 7 月 10 日至 19 日在科罗拉多州丹佛举行，治疗运动员的医务人员了解国际比赛的差异非常重要。公布这些数据将使计划曲棍球比赛的人能够更有效地进行比赛。
