Craniofacial Injuries Related to Racquet Sports: A NEISS Database Query

This study emphasizes the burden of craniofacial injuries due to racquet sports and highlights the need for targeted injury reduction techniques. Findings of this analysis revealed a bimodal age distribution, sex-based disparities of injury patterns, and variations of injury rates across different racquet sports. Despite existing safety guidelines, this study has elucidated the persistence of craniofacial injuries, suggesting the need for increased compliance with guidelines and advancements in equipment design. There is an evident need for more data on sport-specific injuries to guide and develop more effective injury prevention strategies.
