Abstract des Autors

Serious abdominal injuries resulting from sport are rare. The potential for misdiagnosis is significant and the consequences may be serious. Patients with abdominal pain should be taken very seriously and investigated with appropriate diagnostic equipment. Sporting bodies have a responsibility to address safety within a particular sport and to change the rules where necessary as injury patterns are identified. This paper will review the causes of abdominal injuries in sport. It will describe patterns of abdominal injuries associated with different sports and describe symptoms and signs associated with these injuries, and their initial management, investigation, and definitive management. In addition, it will review areas in which injury prevention can play a significant role. Verf.-Referat
