Using the capture-recapture method to ascertain the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among elite military personnel
This was the first study to apply the CRC technique to estimate MSIs among SF personnel, who are at a very high risk of sustaining MSIs. Completeness of the MSI data varied by the MSI anatomic location and type. Further research into the application of the CRC technique in military populations is warranted, to provide an accurate estimate of the MSI burden.
