UNASSIGNED: This was a retrospective descriptive epidemiology study of Gaelic football-related hand injuries treated at a hand therapy unit. The nature of injuries was categorised along with collated variables on player demographics and injury profiles. Potential correlations between injury and continuous demographic data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Pearson\'s χ2 test was used for categorical data (p<0.05).
UNASSIGNED: 287 referrals were identified. Most players were men (n=189; 65.9%), and the average age was 17 (IQR 14-25). Most fractures were to the volar base of the middle phalanx (n=110; 42.8%). Significant differences were found between the age of male and female players with fractures under 18 (p<0.05), the distribution of left and right-hand fractures by age (p<0.05), the distribution of fractures by bone type (p<0.05) and also between sex and affected ray (p<0.05), bone type (p<0.05) and mechanism of injury (p=0.05).
UNASSIGNED: This study established the types of musculoskeletal hand injuries sustained by players in Gaelic football. Considering developmental, anthropometric and rule differences between male and female players across the age range may explain variations in injuries. This data can help devise injury prevention and management strategies for Gaelic football.
■这是一项在手部治疗室治疗的盖尔足球相关手部损伤的回顾性描述性流行病学研究。对受伤的性质进行了分类,并对球员的人口统计和受伤情况进行了整理。使用Mann-WhitneyU和Kruskal-Wallis检验分析了伤害与连续人口统计学数据之间的潜在相关性。分类数据采用Pearsonχ2检验(p<0.05)。
■确定了287个转介。大多数球员是男性(n=189;65.9%),平均年龄为17岁(IQR14-25)。大多数骨折位于中指骨的掌侧基部(n=110;42.8%)。18岁以下骨折的男女运动员年龄差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。左侧和右侧骨折的年龄分布(p<0.05),骨折的分布按骨类型(p<0.05)以及性别和受影响的射线(p<0.05),骨类型(p<0.05)和损伤机制(p=0.05)。
■这项研究确定了盖尔足球运动员手部肌肉骨骼损伤的类型。考虑到发展,男性和女性运动员在不同年龄范围内的人体测量和规则差异可以解释受伤的变化。这些数据可以帮助制定盖尔足球的伤害预防和管理策略。
