A survey of sports injuries in Birmingham

B Crompton et al. Br J Sports Med. 1977 Apr.

Abstract

7% of the injuries presenting to the Birmingham Accident Hospital during 1975 occurred during sport. Of those injuries which could be classified 98.3% were due to extrinsic causes. These figures would not seem to justify a sports injury clinic. However we believe that this presents the service available rather than the service required.
