Abstract
In a prospective study over a period of 5 months (July - November, 1982), 506 patients were treated at a District General Hospital for a sports related injury. All the patients were seen initially in the Casual Department and the majority of attendances (58) were due to injuries caused by the two principal contact sports - Association and Rugby football. There were 294 patients aged 21 or less and 45 (9) were aged 15. The study was intended to provide a summary that would quantify the local problem and assess both the efficicacy of the existing system and the need for a specialist sports injury service.
