SUNDAY, March 6 (HealthDay News) -- Sledding is the most common cause of
injury among winter sports enthusiasts, according to an orthopedic surgeon
who made a list of the top five injury-causing winter activities.
.
"More than 700,000 injuries are reported each year in the United States
due to sledding. More than 30 percent are head injuries caused by
collisions," Dr. Daryl O'Connor, a sports medicine specialist at Gottlieb
Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park, Ill., part of the Loyola University
Health System, said in a Loyola news release.
New study: More than 20,000 sledding injuries each year

According to the study, being released online August 23 and appearing in
the September issue of Pediatrics, the most common injuries were fractures
(26 percent), followed by cuts and bruises (25 percent). The study also
revealed that the majority of injuries occurred during a collision (51
percent), and that collisions were more likely to result in a traumatic
brain injury (TBI) than other mechanisms of injury. Overall, the head was
the most commonly injured body part (34 percent). While the majority of
injuries occurred at a place of sports or recreation (52 percent) or on
private property (31 percent), patients that were injured while sledding
on a street or highway were more likely to sustain injuries to the head,
diagnosed with a TBI and hospitalized than were patients injured in other
locations.

RESULTS From 1997 through 2007 an estimated 229 023 patients 19 years of
age were treated for sledding-related injuries in US emergency
departments, with an average of 20 820 cases per year. Children 10 to 14
years of age sustained 42.5% of sledding-related injuries, and boys
represented 59.8% of all cases. The most frequent injury diagnoses were
fractures (26.3%), followed by contusions and abrasions (25.0%). The head
was the most commonly injured body part (34.1%), and injuries to the head
were twice as likely to occur during collisions as through other
mechanisms. Traumatic brain injuries were more likely to occur with snow
tubes than with other sled types. A total of 4.1% of all cases required
hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS More research on the prevention of sledding-related injuries
is warranted, particularly regarding the impact of helmets in reducing
injury rates. The use of sledding products that may reduce visibility
(such as snow tubes) should be discouraged.
