This article addresses typical injury patterns related to the traditional Swiss folk wrestling, 'Schwingen'. This is a fight between two competitors with its own rules, grips and throws. A variety of injuries have been occasionally reported. The aim of this study was to characterise all cases of Schwingen injuries treated in the University Hospital of Bern from January 2006 to July 2016.
To assess the frequency, type and outcome of Schwingen injuries, database search was performed of all inpatient and outpatient cases related to Schwingen that were admitted to Bern University Hospital from January 2006 to December 2016.
A total of 32 such patients could be identified. Apart from a single woman, all patients were male. 31 of the 32 players were Swiss. One patient was admitted to the intermediate care unit, eight patients underwent surgery, two were hospitalised for further treatment and two were given a plaster. 17 other patients were given medications such as painkillers. One was dismissed without further treatment and another one left the hospital on his own. Typical injury patterns varied from simple lesions to distortions and fractures as well as head injuries and other neurological complications.
The majority of injuries caused by Schwingen are not life threatening. Nevertheless, there is always the potential of head injuries and neurological deficits. Apart from the economic loss due to treatment costs and sick leave, these injuries can be disabling for life. It should therefore be obligatory for all players to evaluate preventive measures.
本文探讨与传统瑞士民间摔跤“施温根”相关的典型损伤模式。这是一种两名参赛者之间的对抗，有其自身的规则、抓握方式和投掷动作。偶尔有各种损伤的报告。本研究的目的是描述2006年1月至2016年7月在伯尔尼大学医院接受治疗的所有施温根损伤病例的特征。
为评估施温根损伤的频率、类型和结果，对2006年1月至2016年12月入住伯尔尼大学医院的所有与施温根相关的住院和门诊病例进行了数据库检索。
共识别出32例此类患者。除一名女性外，所有患者均为男性。32名运动员中有31名是瑞士人。一名患者入住中级护理病房，8名患者接受了手术，2名患者住院接受进一步治疗，2名患者打了石膏。其他17名患者服用了止痛药等药物。一名患者未经进一步治疗就出院了，另一名患者自行离院。典型的损伤模式从简单的损伤到扭伤、骨折以及头部损伤和其他神经并发症不等。
施温根造成的大多数损伤不会危及生命。然而，头部损伤和神经功能缺损的可能性始终存在。除了治疗费用和病假造成的经济损失外，这些损伤可能会导致终身残疾。因此，所有运动员都应该评估预防措施。
