This was done by identifying trends seen in lower-extremity TAF injuries and providing potential treatments to counter specific injuries, closing gaps in current literature.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried during a ten-year time span (2014-2023) to analyze lower-extremity track and field-related musculoskeletal injuries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n There were 128,761 cases reported in the Emergency Department from 2014-2023. Fifty eight percent occurred in females compared to only 42% in males, making females 1.4 times more likely to experience injury. Most injuries took place in 2017. Most cases in adolescents were aged 15 and 14 years old. The 10-19 age group had disproportionately more cases. 1,067 reported cases of strain\/sprains were associated with female patients with 733 cases present in males. Strain\/sprains ranked the highest, followed by fractures, excluding other\/not stated cases. The ankle was the body part with the most cases, followed by injury to the knee.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n As a widely popular sport, future studies should look at providing a more comprehensive characterization into how a patient\u2019s specific demographics may play into injury detection and prevention.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.52965\/001c.122542","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T20:17:46Z","timestamp":1728332266000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Track and field-related lower-extremity musculoskeletal injuries: A retrospective study discussing injury analysis, stressors, and comprehensive management"],"prefix":"10.52965","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6993-4786","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vedha","family":"Dande","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9686-6073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jasra","family":"Elahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05vt9qd57","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Central Florida"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7717-3864","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Latha","family":"Ganti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0108gqn38","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine"},{"name":"Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"30777","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"17","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6046","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17176046","article-title":"Runner\u2019s Perceptions of Reasons to Quit Running: Influence of Gender, Age and Running-Related Characteristics","volume":"17","author":"D.
