Fractures occur in athletes and dramatically influence performance during competitive and recreational activities. Fractures occur in athletes as the result of repetitive stress, acute sports-related trauma and trauma outside of athletics. The literature provides general guidelines for treatment as well as a variety of statistics on the epidemiology of fractures by sport and level of participation. Athletes are healthy and motivated patients, and have high expectations regarding their level of function. These qualities make them good surgical candidates. Although closed treatment methods are appropriate for most sports fractures, an aggressive approach to more complicated fractures employing current techniques may optimize their subsequent performance.
骨折在运动员中时有发生，会显著影响其在竞技和娱乐活动中的表现。运动员骨折是由重复性应力、与运动相关的急性创伤以及运动以外的创伤导致的。文献提供了治疗的一般指南以及各类关于不同运动项目和参与水平的骨折流行病学统计数据。运动员是健康且有积极性的患者，对自身功能水平有很高期望。这些特质使他们成为良好的手术候选对象。尽管闭合治疗方法适用于大多数运动骨折，但采用当前技术对更复杂骨折采取积极的治疗方法可能会优化他们后续的表现。
