Artificial rugby union playing surface installation is increasing. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the effect of playing surface on match injury types within 157 players of two UK professional rugby union clubs playing 209 matches (96 on artificial surfaces and 113 on grass) over three seasons. There was no difference in overall injury risk between the two playing surfaces with injury incidence on artificial 80.2 (CI 69.9-91.7) and on grass 81.9 per 1000 match-hours (CI 72.2-92.5), with an incidence rate ratio (RR) of 0.98 (CI 0.82-1.17). There was a higher rate of concussion (RR 0.52, CI 0.34 - 0.78) and chest injuries on grass (RR 0.26 CI 0.07, 0.95), and a higher rate of thigh haematoma (RR 2.25, CI 1.05-4.82) foot injuries (RR 4.12, CI 1.10, 15.40) and injury to players being tackled (RR 1.46, CI 1.00, 2.15) on artificial. Whilst there was no higher injury risk for matches played on artificial versus natural grass surfaces, the higher incidence of concussion and chest injury on grass, and the higher rate of foot injuries on artificial surfaces may be related to tackle and footwear-to-surface interface factors.
人工橄榄球联盟比赛场地的安装越来越多。这项前瞻性队列研究旨在检查两种英国职业橄榄球联盟俱乐部的 157 名球员在三个赛季的 209 场比赛（96 场在人造表面，113 场在草地上）中，比赛场地对比赛损伤类型的影响。两种比赛表面的整体损伤风险没有差异，人造表面的损伤发生率为 80.2（95%CI：69.9-91.7），草地上的损伤发生率为 81.9 每 1000 比赛小时（95%CI：72.2-92.5），发病率比（RR）为 0.98（95%CI：0.82-1.17）。草地上的脑震荡（RR 0.52，95%CI：0.34-0.78）和胸部损伤发生率较高，人工草地上的大腿血肿（RR 2.25，95%CI：1.05-4.82）、足部损伤（RR 4.12，95%CI：1.10-15.40）和被铲球的球员受伤（RR 1.46，95%CI：1.00-2.15）发生率较高。虽然在人造和天然草皮表面上进行的比赛没有更高的受伤风险，但在草地上脑震荡和胸部受伤的发生率较高，而在人造草皮表面上足部受伤的发生率较高，可能与铲球和鞋类与表面的接触因素有关。
