Abstract des Autors

Ice hockey injuries can range from simple cuts and bruises to devastating spinal cord damage. The use of face protection drastically reduces the number and severity of facial and eye injuries. Professional hockey players seem to incur the most injuries (3.0 per player per year), while players in youth hockey incur the fewest (0.02 per player per year). Most injuries can be treated on the sidelines, but in most cases prevention is the key to staying in the game. The authors describe the mechanisms, management, and prevention of each type of injury.
