Abstract

A study of 5108 patients admitted to public hospitals with sports injuries was undertaken for the years 1981-82. Winter sports caused 80% of the injuries, with 58.1% of the cases having been involved in either rugby union or league. Almost 40% of all the injuries were to the head, and fractures were the most common type of injury. Sports-specific injury patterns were found.
