Abstract des Autors
One hundred fifty-seven racquetball injuries were identified. Eighty-two involved the face, but ocular injuries were probably underrepresented as a result of patient triage protocols. Facial trauma occurred more frequently among novice players. Only 9.9 of the players wore protective facial equipment and 23.1 had taken lessons before being injured. We propose that injuries could be reduced with proper player education, including the wearing of protective facial equipment. A modification in the design ofconventional facial equipment is suggested to further reduce injury. Verf.-Referat
