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...

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).

To review 16 years of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) injury surveillance data for men's basketball and identify potential areas for injury prevention initiatives. Collegiate men's basketball is a contact sport in which numerous anatomical structures are susceptible to both acute and overuse injuries. To date, no comprehensive reporting of injury patterns in NCAA men's basketball has been published. The overall rate of injury was 9.9 per 1000 athlete-exposures for games and 4.3 per 1000 athlete-exposures for practices. Approximately 60% of all injuries were to the lower extremity, with ankle ligament sprains being the most common injury overall and knee internal derangements being the most common injury causing athletes to miss more than 10 days of participation. A trend of increasing incidence of injuries to the head and face was noted over the 16-year span of the study, which may be related to an observed increase in physical contact in men's basket...
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...
High ankle injury rate in adolescent basketball: A 3‐year prospective follow‐up study
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2016
This prospective study investigated the incidence and pattern of acute time‐loss injuries in young female and male basketball players. Eight basketball teams (n=201; mean age 14.85±1.5) participated in the follow‐up study (2011‐2014). The coaches recorded player participation in practices and games on a team diary. A study physician contacted the teams once a week to check new injuries and interviewed the injured players. In total, 158 injuries occurred. The overall rate of injury (per 1000 hours) was 2.64 (95% CI 2.23‐3.05). Injury rate was 34.47 (95% CI 26.59‐42.34) in basketball games and 1.51 (95% CI 1.19‐1.82) in team practices. Incidence rate ratio (IRR) between game and practice was 22.87 (95% CI 16.71‐31.29). Seventy‐eight percent of the injuries affected the lower limbs. The ankle (48%) and knee (15%) were the most commonly injured body sites. The majority of injuries involved joint or ligaments (67%). Twenty‐three percent of the injuries were severe causing more than 28 da...

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.

Injury risk in professional basketball players
2006
Women's professional basketball has gained increasing national attention since the inception of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) in 1997. Limited data exist as to a WNBA athlete's susceptibility to injury. The incidence of injuries incurred by male athletes in the National Basketball Association (NBA) has been well documented. 4,6,11,13 On entering the professional ranks, NBA athletes participate in a longer season and compete in longer games than do their collegiate counterparts. As a result, NBA players experience a rate of game-related injuries that is twice that of college players. 11 Only 1 previous study has compared men and women basketball players competing at the professional level.

Background: The aim of study was to look into the frequency and nature of on-court injuries in female basketball players (FBP) and to determine the most common on-court injuries as well as their anatomical locations. Method: cross sectional descriptive survey study design adopted. The data was gathered through the use of a structured self-administered questionnaire in the form of Google form via social media platforms (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook) and e-mail. Using total population sampling design, 40 participants were calculated who filled the form. The collected data were analysed using descriptive analysis. Result: The study found that the commonest injured anatomical area was the ankle (32%) and the commonest nature of injury was joint (22.2%) followed by muscle (20.9%). Conclusion: The study concludes that the lower extremity injuries were the most common. It identified the ankle injuries to be the commonest injuries occurring in female basketball players.
