Rock Climbing Injuries: Acute and Chronic Repetitive Trauma

Connie Y Chang et al. Curr Probl Diagn Radiol. 2016 May-Jun.

Abstract

Rock climbing has increased in popularity as a sport, and specific injuries related to its practice are becoming more common. Chronic repetitive injuries are more common than acute injuries, although acute injuries tend to be more severe. We review both acute and chronic upper and lower extremity injuries. Understanding the injury pattern in rock climbers is important for accurate diagnosis.
