A prospective study of orthopaedic injuries to children (ages 6 to 17) was conducted for a calendar year in the controlled environment of a military post. Data were collected on the number of participants, the hours of participation, and the number of injuries for six supervised sports (football, soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, and gymnastics). An injury index factor was derived by a formula: (number of injuries x 10(4)) divided by [(number of participants) x (average number of hours of participation) x (number of weeks in the season of the sport)]. When the injury index factors were compared, the risk a participant has for sustaining an injury in football was twice as high (1.72) as its nearest competitors, basketball (0.88) and gymnastics (0.85). Soccer had an index factor of 0.29; baseball, 0.14; and swimming had a factor of zero. Eighty percent of all sports-related orthopaedic injuries involved the upper extremities. Lower extremity orthopaedic injuries occurred only in football and gymnastics. The evidence suggests that those persons concerned with reducing the number of injuries to the growing athlete in supervised sports should focus their attention on reducing the risk of injury to the upper extremities.
在一个军事基地的可控环境中，对儿童（6至17岁）的骨科损伤进行了为期一历年的前瞻性研究。收集了关于参与者数量、参与时长以及六项受监督运动（足球、英式足球、篮球、棒球、游泳和体操）的损伤数量的数据。损伤指数因子由一个公式得出：（损伤数量×10⁴）除以[（参与者数量）×（平均参与时长）×（该运动赛季的周数）]。当比较损伤指数因子时，参与者在足球运动中受伤的风险（1.72）是其最接近的竞争对手篮球（0.88）和体操（0.85）的两倍。英式足球的指数因子为0.29；棒球为0.14；而游泳的因子为零。所有与运动相关的骨科损伤中有80%涉及上肢。下肢骨科损伤仅发生在足球和体操运动中。证据表明，那些关注减少受监督运动中成长中的运动员损伤数量的人应将注意力集中在降低上肢受伤风险上。
