The participation of children and adolescents in wilderness and extreme environment sports is increasing. Engaging in these activities is not without risk of injury, illness, or death. To date, there is limited research investigating pediatric and adolescent injuries in wilderness and extreme environments. With the intent of creating awareness within the sports medicine field, this review begins by examining the growth in popularity of outdoor sports in wilderness and extreme environments and the injury impact they are registering. The review then examines reported pediatric and adolescent injuries in multiple wilderness and extreme environments. Close examination is paid to youth adventuring on global expeditions and entering high altitude environments. Future studies acquiring denominator data to help establish injury rates while keeping pace with the rapidly diversifying outdoor and extreme wilderness sport trends are necessary.
儿童和青少年参与野外和极端环境运动的情况正在增加。参与这些活动并非没有受伤、生病或死亡的风险。迄今为止，关于野外和极端环境中儿童和青少年受伤情况的研究有限。为了在运动医学领域提高认识，本综述首先考察了野外和极端环境中户外运动的普及程度增长情况以及它们所造成的伤害影响。然后，该综述考察了在多个野外和极端环境中报告的儿童和青少年受伤情况。重点关注了参与全球探险和进入高海拔环境的青少年。未来有必要开展研究以获取分母数据，以便在跟上迅速多样化的户外和极端野外运动趋势的同时帮助确定受伤率。
