Abstract

A survey is presented of 346 sports injuries admitted to the Eton College sanatorium between 1971 and 1982. The incidence of injury was lowest in 13 year olds perhaps because of their lighter weight. The injuries were classified into four groups - minor head injury, soft tissue injury, fractures and dislocations, and eye injury. Football caused 75 per cent of all injuries except eye injury where it accounted for only a third. Comparison of the incidence of injury at the three types of football played at Eton - Rugby, Association and Eton - showed Rugby football to be the most dangerous and Eton football the safest game. Advice on the management and prevention of injury is given. Verf.-Referat
