Epidemiology of American Football-Related Fractures in the United States 2002-2021
Our analysis showed that American football-related fractures diagnosed in the emergency department in the United States were most likely to occur in pediatric patients (10-18 years old). In addition, patients experiencing American football-related fractures were most likely to have an upper extremity fracture and not require hospitalization. The trend in American football-related fractures has been decreasing since 2006.
