10-Year Epidemiology of Ankle Injuries in Men’s and Women’s Collegiate Basketball
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Background: Ankle injury is the most common injury in men’s and women’s basketball, regardless of the level of competition. Purpose: To use the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Injury Surveillance Program/System (ISP/ISS) to review the 10-year epidemiology of ankle injuries in men’s and women’s collegiate basketball players. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: The NCAA ISP was queried for men’s and women’s collegiate basketball ankle injury data from the 2004 through 2014 academic years. Ankle injury rates were calculated based on injuries per athlete-exposure (AE). Injury proportion ratios (IPRs) were determined by comparing variables between sexes. Activity and position of injury were also studied. Results: Over the 10-year study period, most ankle injuries in collegiate basketball occurred in the preseason (female, 1.45/1000 AEs; male, 2.00/1000 AEs), were contact related (female, 50.4%; male, 57.6%), were treated conservatively (female, 98.5%; m...

This prospective cohort study aims to assess the overall incidence of acute and overuse basketball injuries and identifies risk factors associated with ankle sprains and knee overuse injuries. In total, 164 senior players (23.7 years ± 7.0) of all levels of play, and including both men and women, participated voluntarily during one season. A total of 139 acute and 87 overuse injuries were reported, resulting in an overall injury incidence of 9.8 (8.5 to 11.1) per 1,000 hours. The incidence of acute injuries was 6.0/1,000 hours. Ankle sprains (n = 34) accounted for most acute injuries, and 52.9% of all players with ankle sprains reported a previous ankle sprain. Relative Risks (RR) and Odds Ratio (OR) with their 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were calculated to determine significant differences. Landing on an opponent's foot was the major inciting event, significantly more so than non contact mechanisms (RR=2.1 [95% CI: 1.0-4.2]). Acute knee injuries resulted in the highest playin...

The study aimed to determine prospectively a basketball injury profile, including severity of injury, and to compare the injury profile by gender and standard of competition. Trained observers viewed basketball games, noting the occurrence of injuries, and confirmed injuries by questioning all players on site after the game. Injured players completed a questionnaire and the progress of their injury was monitored by telephone interview. A total of 10,393 basketball participations were observed. An overall injury rate was documented of 18.3 per 1,000 participations (24.7 per 1,000 playing hours), and was comparable by gender and standard of competition. Serious injuries (missing one or more weeks of play) occurred at a rate of 2.89/1,000 participations; with the ankle joint the most common serious injury {1.25/1,000 participations), followed by the calf/anterior leg (0.48/1,000 participations) and knee joint (0.29/1,000 participations). The severity of the injury was significantly associated with the body region injured, with more serious injuries incurred to the lower limb than other body regions (p <.05). The severity of the injury incurred was not related to the standard of competition, gender, age, height, number of games played per week, amount of training undertaken, type of injury, or the mechanism of injury (p> .05).

The aim is to demonstrate how an ankle injury appears to be a serious problem and that, as such, it must be adequately addressed to prevent it from recurring in the future because, as evidenced by recent studies, the risk of a relapse it is greater if there are precedents not completely rehabilitated. This study also wants: 1) to list all the factors that predispose the onset of an ankle injury; 2) describe the different types of ankle injuries; 3) set out guidelines on prevention and post-injury recovery. Finally, we will see how accidents in basketball are almost identical for both professional athletes and occasional practitioners of this discipline. Injuries cannot be completely prevented because given the variability of factors it's really great and it's almost impossible to make an accurate prediction on a specific joint. Performing specific exercises, however, is a great way to minimize the chance of an injury and consequently increase the physical and mental health of the athlete.
Ankle injuries in basketball players
Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy, 1993
We carried out a retrospective study of the frequency of ankle sprains in basketball players. A questionnaire about previous ankle injuries, time off after such injuries, current ankle problems, personal data, number of practice hours and the use of prophylactic measures was sent out to 102 basketball players in a second division league in Sweden. Ninety-six players answered. 92% of them had suffered an ankle sprain while playing basketball, and of these 83% reported repeated sprains of one ankle. In the last two seasons, 78% of the players had injured at least one ankle. The injury frequency in the investigation was 5.5 ankle injuries per 1000 activity hours. 22% of the players used some kind of prophylactic support of their ankle joints. Because of the great number of ankle sprains and the disability in terms of time away from sports that they cause, prevention of these injuries is essential.
Ankle Injuries in Basketball - Treatment and Adaptation to the Training Process
trakia journal of sciences, 2021
The article analyzes the problems of sports injuries, the main focus is on ankle injuries received during training and basketball competition. Given the growing incidence of ankle pain complaints not only from pupils and students-game lovers, but also from professionals of all ages, ankle injuries are considered significant injuries, with serious consequences for the training of basketball players. The aim of the study is to indicate the most common ankle injuries received during basketball training and competition activities and to explain the options for treatment. Conclusions: The factors for the occurrence of chronic injuries in the ankles are complex, but most authors determine the lack of proper treatment and subsequent model for gradual adaptation to training after injury as most significant. That is why coaches and doctors combine their knowledge with the task of reducing injuries during training and competitive activities in basketball and effective recovery of the athlete after treatment of injuries.
Epidemiology of sports injuries in basketball: integrative systematic review
BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine, 2018
IntroductionBasketball is a contact sport with complex movements that include jumps, turns and changes in direction, which cause frequent musculoskeletal injuries in all regions of the body.ObjectiveThis is an integrative systematic review of the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in basketball.MethodsThis is an integrative review based on the following sources of information: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, BBO-Biblioteca Brasileira de Odontologia, IBECS-Índice Bibliográfico Espanhol em Ciências da Saúde, nursing journals, dental journals and core clinical journals in the last 10 years with studies addressing the general epidemiology of sports injuries in basketball.ResultsIn total, 268 articles were selected, of which 11 were eligible for the integrative review. A total of 12 960 injuries were observed, most of which occurred in the lower limbs (63.7%), with 2832 (21.9%) ankle injuries and 2305 (17.8%) knee injuries. Injuries in the upper limbs represented 12%–14% of the tot...

Risk-factor analysis of high school basketball-player ankle injuries: a prospective controlled cohort study evaluating postural sway, ankle strength, and flexibility. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2006;87:821-5. Objective: To analyze risk factors, including postural sway, ankle strength, and flexibility, for the prediction of ankle injuries in men's high school basketball players. Design: A cohort study with follow-up duration of 1 basketball season. Setting: Biomechanics laboratory. Participants: Forty-two (age, 16.5Ϯ1.1y) players competing in first league of the High School Basketball Association without history of injury in the lower extremities within 6 months before recruitment and without significant malalignment in the lower extremities were included. None of these players met exclusion criteria such as using ankle braces or taping or failed in wearing low-top sports shoes during the follow-up season. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Biomechanic measurements including isokinetic ankle strength, 1-leg standing postural sway, and ankle joint dorsiflexion flexibility were performed before the basketball season by 1 physical therapist. The subsequent monthly follow-up questionnaires were sent and returned by mail to prospectively record the incidence of ankle injury occurring in the season. Results of these preseason measurements were analyzed to correlate if any of these measured variables could predict future ankle injuries. Results: Eighteen ankle sport injuries were recorded for 42 players during the follow-up season. High variation of postural sway in both anteroposterior and mediolateral directions corresponded to occurrences of ankle injuries (Pϭ.01, odds ratio [OR]ϭ1.220; PϽ.001, ORϭ1.216, respectively). All other variables were not associated with injury. Conclusions: High variations of postural sway in 1-leg standing test could explain partly the increased prevalence of ankle injury in basketball players. It may be used as a screening tool to recommend balance training before basketball season.
