Abstract
We present certain characteristics of 1,000 consecutive patients who attended an Accident and Emergency Department (A E) with an injury sustained as a result of sport. The majority of injuries occurred as a result of football. Sports injuries had a higher requirement of X-ray than general trauma patients. A minority were treated at the site of injury. A fifth of patients required no treatment or a simple dressing. Commonest treatment was a support bandage. Only 2 reqquired immediate in-patient treatment. Those affected by sports injuries tend to by young and of working age and may lose work time as a result of their injuries and therefore appropriate treatment is justified. Verf.-Referat
