Saudi Arabia has now a wealth of sporting facilities of which the youth of the country is making full use. A prospective study of sports related injuries was conducted during the twelve months of 1983. We present an analysis of 846 such injuries seen at the King Fahd University Hospital, Al Khobar. These injuries formed 8.36% of those who attended after an accident for emergency treatment, of which 63% were under 20 years. The majority was sustained during soccer games. The most frequent site of injury was the knee. We believe that specialised Sports Injury Clinics, initially based at the University Hospitals should be established here, to give guidance and education concerning avoidance of injuries, and for the treatment and follow-up of those injured and enable them to return to sports early.
沙特阿拉伯如今拥有丰富的体育设施，该国的年轻人正在充分利用这些设施。1983年的十二个月期间对与运动相关的损伤进行了一项前瞻性研究。我们对在胡拜尔法赫德国王大学医院所见的846例此类损伤进行了分析。这些损伤占事故后前来急诊治疗者的8.36%，其中63%年龄在20岁以下。大多数损伤发生在足球比赛期间。最常见的损伤部位是膝盖。我们认为，应在此设立专门的运动损伤诊所，最初可设在大学医院，以提供有关避免损伤以及对伤者进行治疗和随访的指导与教育，使他们能够早日重返运动。
