The Epidemiology of Sports and Recreation Related Toe Fractures in the United States
Sports- and recreation-related toe fractures did not significantly decrease from 2013 to 2022, although a significant decrease in all-cause toe fractures was observed. Toe fractures continue to peak in the pediatric age groups, particularly 10-14 year-olds. Youth sports and recreation officials should be aware of the risks of toe fractures to aid in prevention.<b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level III, epidemiologic database, retrospective cohort studies.
