Emergency Visits for Children's Sports Injuries Waning

CHICAGO, Illinois Overall, the incidence of musculoskeletal trauma from
the 8 most common sports and recreational activities in American children
has decreased in the past decade. However, injuries resulting from
football, soccer, and playground activities have increased, according to a
new study.
.
Despite the overall decrease, "we see more pediatric sports injuries and
operate on children more now than before. I was expecting a 2- or 3-fold
increase in musculoskeletal injuries," said Shital Parikh, MD, from
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Ohio.
.
In fact, children 5 to 14 years of age had 14,369 fewer sports-related
musculoskeletal injuries that required emergency evaluation in 2010 than
in 2000, Dr. Parikh reported, which is a 12.4% decrease.
.
Clearly, "what we see in the pediatric sports medicine office does not
reflect what is happening in the community," he explained.
.
Dr. Parikh presented the findings here at the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2013 Annual Meeting.
.
His data came from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System. Dr. Parikh examined pediatric
contusions, abrasions, sprains, strains, fractures, and dislocations
involving the upper or lower extremities or the neck.
.
He analyzed the 8 top injury-producing activities: bicycling, basketball,
football, roller sports, play on playground equipment, baseball and
softball, soccer, and trampoline.

He reports that football concussions more than doubled over the study
period from 4138 in 2000 to 10,759 in 2010.

He acknowledged that a limitation of his study was that the database did
not include overuse injuries or injuries seen in doctor's offices.
