We included observational studies of adolescent artistic gymnasts that reported prevalence, incidence, and\/or risk factors for wrist pain, acute injuries, chronic injuries (causing physeal stress or not attributable to a specific acute event), or positive ulnar variance (PUV). Where applicable, meta-analyses were conducted to estimate the pooled prevalence and proportion of new cases for each outcome using common- or random-effect models. Results from studies that were not possible to pool were also reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 3650 records identified, 25 studies (185,107 gymnasts) were included for analysis. All evidence was deemed low to very low certainty. Nine studies suggested a pooled wrist pain prevalence of 53% (95% CI, 39%-66%), with 1 study reporting the proportion of new wrist pain cases to be 2% over 1 year. The prevalence of acute wrist injuries reported in 1 study was 34%, and the pooled proportion of new cases was 4% (n = 2 studies; 95% CI, 2%-7%) over a 2-year period. The pooled prevalence of chronic wrist injury was 36% (n = 6 studies; 95% CI, 12%-71%), and the pooled proportion of new chronic wrist injury cases was 5% (n = 2 studies; 95% CI, 3%-10%) over a 2-year period. Two studies suggested a pooled PUV prevalence of 4% (95% CI, 1%-14%), with 1 study reporting the proportion of new PUV cases to be 16% over an 18-month period in preteen gymnasts (mean \u00b1 SD age, 10 \u00b1 2 years). Wrist pain was significantly associated with age between 10 and 14 years, increased age at training onset, training intensity, body mass index, years training, and weekly training hours.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our review demonstrated that adolescent artistic gymnasts demonstrate an alarmingly high prevalence of acute and chronic wrist pain and wrist injury.
