Little is known about the epidemiology of such injuries. The objective of this study was to calculate the rates of hand\/wrist injuries and investigate injury patterns among high school athletes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n Athlete exposure (AE) and hand\/wrist injury data were collected during 11 academic years, 2005\/06 through 2015\/16, from a large sample of US high schools as part of the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n There were 6723 hand\/wrist injuries sustained during 40\u2009195\u2009806 AEs, a rate of 1.7 per 10\u2009000 AEs. The rate of injury in competition (3.3) was higher than in practice (1.1) (95% confidence interval: 2.8\u20133.1). Rates of hand\/wrist injuries varied by sport, with the highest rates in football (4.3), boys\u2019 lacrosse (1.9), girls\u2019 softball (1.9), wrestling (1.8), girls\u2019 field hockey (1.7), boys\u2019 ice hockey (1.7), and girls\u2019 basketball (1.7). The most common injuries were fracture (45.0%), contusion (11.6%), and ligament sprain (9.0%). Athletes most frequently returned to play in &lt;7 days (45.7%), but 12.4% of injuries kept athletes out \u22653 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n High school athletes are at risk for hand\/wrist injuries. Such injuries can keep athletes out of play and many require substantial medical treatment. Stick and ball or puck sports and full contact sports have high rates of hand\/wrist injuries relative to other sports, which is indicative of a need for sport-specific prevention efforts.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2017-1255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,21]],"date-time":"2017-11-21T08:44:58Z","timestamp":1511253898000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Hand and Wrist Injuries Among US High School Athletes: 2005\/06\u20132015\/16"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"140","author":[{"given":"Bernadette K.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, Aurora, Colorado;"},{"name":"Section of Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Brou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, Aurora, Colorado;"},{"name":"Section of Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah K.","family":"Fields","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Colorado Denver, Denver, Colorado;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandria N.","family":"Erkenbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Colorado School of Public Health, University of Colorado Anschutz, Aurora, Colorado; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.
