Decreasing Incidence of Youth Wrestling Injuries: A 10-Year Analysis of National Injury Data
Our study showed a trend in the decrease in overall injuries and concussions in high school wrestlers. Strains/sprains were the most common diagnoses with the shoulder being the most common site. Youth wrestlers would benefit from future research analyzing risks associated with these injuries as well as advances in protective gear.
