The pattern of sports injuries appears to be population-specific. The purpose of the present study is to describe 1750 injuries evaluated between April 1988 and April 1994 in our Olympic Training Center Interdisciplinary Sports Injury Clinic. Our patient population included elite and recreational athletes of both sexes between the ages of 7 and 71 years. Males comprised 73% of the patient population and approximately 80% of the injuries corresponded to the 10 to 29 age range. The most frequent sports in males were baseball (21.9%) and basketball (15.9%) and in females were track and field (17.1%) and gymnastics (15.1%). Most injuries (52%) were traumatic in nature, chronic (71.6%), and occurred during training sessions (57.4%). The most commonly affected anatomical areas were the knee (31.2%) and shoulder (15.5%). The most common diagnoses were tendinitis (25.4%), and first degree strains (11.8%) and sprains (9.3%). Finally, treatment strategies included medications (61.0%), physical therapy (48.9%), relative rest (35.7%), and home exercise programs (35.2%). The variety of musculoskeletal disorders seen in combination with the frequent use of conservative treatment confirms the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to sports injuries.
运动损伤模式似乎因人群而异。本研究的目的是描述1988年4月至1994年4月间在我们的奥林匹克训练中心跨学科运动损伤诊所评估的1750例损伤情况。我们的患者群体包括年龄在7岁至71岁之间的男女精英和业余运动员。男性占患者群体的73%，约80%的损伤发生在10至29岁年龄范围。男性中最常见的运动项目是棒球（21.9%）和篮球（15.9%），女性中是田径（17.1%）和体操（15.1%）。大多数损伤（52%）本质上是创伤性的，慢性损伤占（71.6%），且发生在训练期间（57.4%）。最常受影响的解剖部位是膝盖（31.2%）和肩部（15.5%）。最常见的诊断是肌腱炎（25.4%）、一级拉伤（11.8%）和扭伤（9.3%）。最后，治疗策略包括药物治疗（61.0%）、物理治疗（48.9%）、相对休息（35.7%）和家庭锻炼计划（35.2%）。结合常见的保守治疗方法所见到的各种肌肉骨骼疾病，证实了跨学科方法在运动损伤治疗中的重要性。
