Methods In Germany, injuries are registered with the statutory accident insurance for professional athletes (VBG) by clubs or club physicians as part of occupational accident reporting. Moderate and severe injuries (absence of > 7 days) sustained during basketball competition in one of four seasons (2014-2017 and 2018-2019) in the first or second national men's league in Germany were prospectively analyzed using a newly developed standardized observation form. Season 2017-2018 was excluded because of missing video material. Results Video analysis included 175 (53\%) of 329 moderate and severe match injuries. Contact patterns categorized according to the different body sites yielded eight groups of typical injury patterns: one each for the head, shoulders, and ankles, two for the thighs, and three for the knees. Injuries to the head (92\%), ankles (76\%), shoulders (70\%), knees (47\%), and thighs (32\%) were mainly caused by direct contact. The injury proportion of foul play was 19\%. Most injuries (61\%) occurred in the central zone below the basket. More injuries occurred during the second (OR 1.8, p = 0.018) and fourth quarter (OR 1.8, p = 0.022) than during the first and third quarter of the match. Conclusion The eight identified injury patterns differed substantially in their mechanisms. Moderate and severe match injuries to the head, shoulders, knees, and ankles were mainly caused by collision with opponents and teammates. Thus, stricter rule enforcement is unlikely to facilitate safer match play.}, language = {en} } @article{FehskeBerningerAlmetal.2021, author = {Fehske, Kai and Berninger, Markus T. and Alm, Lena and Hoffmann, Reinhard and Zellner, Johannes and K{\"o}sters, Clemens and Barzen, Stefan and Raschke, Michael J. and Izadpanah, Kaywan and Herbst, Elmar and Domnick, Christoph and Sch{\"u}ttrumpf, Jan Philipp and Krause, Matthias}, title = {Aktueller Versorgungsstandard von Patellafrakturen in Deutschland}, series = {Der Unfallchirurg}, volume = {124}, journal = {Der Unfallchirurg}, organization = {Komitee Frakturen der Deutschen Kniegesellschaft (DKG)}, issn = {0177-5537}, doi = {10.1007/s00113-020-00939-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-235047}, pages = {832-838}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Hintergrund Die Versorgung von Patellafrakturen ist technisch anspruchsvoll. Auch wenn die radiologischen Ergebnisse zumeist zufriedenstellend sind, deckt sich dies h{\"a}ufig nicht mit der subjektiven Einsch{\"a}tzung der Patienten. Die klassische Versorgung mittels Drahtzuggurtung weist einige Komplikationen auf. Die winkelstabile Plattenosteosynthese hat sich in den letzten Jahren biomechanisch als vorteilhaft erwiesen. Fragestellung Von wem werden Patellafrakturen in Deutschland versorgt? Wie sieht der aktuelle Versorgungsstandard aus? Haben sich „moderne" Osteosyntheseformen durchgesetzt? Was sind die h{\"a}ufigsten Komplikationen? Material und Methoden Die Mitglieder der Deutschen Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Orthop{\"a}die und Unfallchirurgie sowie der Deutschen Kniegesellschaft wurden aufgefordert, an einer Onlinebefragung teilzunehmen. Ergebnisse Insgesamt wurden 511 komplett ausgef{\"u}llte Fragebogen ausgewertet. Die Befragten sind zum gr{\"o}ßten Teil auf Unfallchirurgie spezialisiert (51,5 \%) und verf{\"u}gen {\"u}ber langj{\"a}hrige Berufserfahrung in Traumazentren. Die H{\"a}lfte der Operateure versorgt ≤5 Patellafrakturen j{\"a}hrlich. In knapp 40 \% der F{\"a}lle wird die pr{\"a}operative Bildgebung um eine Computertomographie erg{\"a}nzt. Die klassische Zuggurtung ist noch die bevorzugte Osteosyntheseform bei allen Frakturtypen (Querfraktur 52 \%, Mehrfragmentfrakturen 40 \%). Bei Mehrfragmentfrakturen entscheiden sich 30 \% der Operateure f{\"u}r eine winkelstabile Plattenosteosynthese. Bei Beteiligung des kaudalen Pols dient als zus{\"a}tzliche Sicherung die McLaughlin-Schlinge (60 \%). Diskussion Der Versorgungsstandard von Patellafrakturen in Deutschland entspricht weitgehend der aktualisierten S2e-Leitlinie. Nach wie vor wird die klassische Zuggurtungsosteosynthese als Verfahren der Wahl genutzt.

The aim of this study was to identify and compare the injury profiles and compare the injury profiles of these three extreme water sports. Materials and Methods These data for this retrospective cohort study were collected through an online standardised questionnaire during the 2017-18 season. The questionnaire included questions about anthropometry, skill level, injury diagnosis, injury mechanism, environmental conditions and training regimes. Results The 626 athletes included reported 2584 injuries. On average, each athlete sustained 4.12 injuries during the season. The most frequent injury location was in the lower extremity, in particular the foot, with 49 (16.4\%) injuries in surfing, 344 (18.3\%) in wind surfing and 79 (19.7\%) in kite surfing. Surfing demonstrated a particularly high rate of head injuries (n = 37; 12.4\%). Other frequent injury types were skin lesions (up to 42.1\%) and contusions (up to 40.5\%). The most common injury across all surfing sports was skin lesions of the foot (wind surfing: 11.7\%; kite surfing: 13.2\%; surfing: 12.7\%). In surfing, skin lesions of the head were frequently observed (n = 24; 8.0\%). In surfing, a 'too large wave' (n = 18; 24.7\%) was main cause of the injury, while in wind surfing (n = 189; 34.5\%) and kite surfing (n = 65; 36.7\%) 'own incompetence' led to the most injuries. Conclusion This unique study compares injury epidemiology and mechanism in the three most popular surfing sports: wind surfing, kite surfing and surfing. Overall, injuries were sustained mainly in the lower extremity, while surfing also demonstrated a high rate of head injuries.}, language = {en} } @article{SzymskiAschenbachKrutschetal.2021, author = {Szymski, Dominik and Aschenbach, Leonard and Krutsch, Volker and Alt, Volker and Meffert, Rainer and Krutsch, Werner and Fehske, Kai}, title = {Injury epidemiology in men's professional team sports: is media analysis helpful?}, series = {Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery}, volume = {141}, journal = {Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery}, number = {4}, issn = {1434-3916}, doi = {10.1007/s00402-020-03743-6}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-266690}, pages = {655-661}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Introduction Epidemiological injury surveillance in professional sports is often based on online media analysis in order to collect necessary data. However, the validation of this study protocol is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the validity of injury surveillance in men's professional team sports based on media reports. Methods In a retrospective cohort study, the validity of media-data-relating injuries was investigated in participating teams of the highest two German divisions in men's professional basketball (BB) and handball (HB) in the season 2018/2019. Injury protocols completed by the team physicians were compared to those of sports media injury reports. Results The study population was composed of 133 athletes (54 BB and 79 HB). Of 343 injuries reported by the team physicians, 151 (44\%) could be identified by means of sports media reports. Severe injuries (n = 75, 72\%) were reported more likely in sports media compared to less severe injuries (n = 76, 32\%, p < 0.00001). Odds ratio (OR) was 5.33 (95\% CI 3.22-8.82). No differences regarding injury reporting could be seen between the two team sports. Conclusion For severe injuries, media analysis may be a sufficient method for data collection in popular men's professional ball sports. An underestimation of true injury prevalence lies within the range of previous reported investigations concerning the validation of injury surveillance methods. Non-severe injuries could not be verified via media analysis in professional handball and basketball.}, language = {en} }
