Description
Eli Snyder and six co-authors chart youth wrestling injuries in the United States over ten years in a 2024 study. About 260,000 high school students wrestle each year, yet injury patterns in the sport were poorly tracked.
The team drew on a national database of emergency department visits from 2013 to 2022. They sorted injuries by cause, diagnosis, body part, and year, and scaled the counts to national estimates. They expected total visits to fall as urgent care centers took more cases. They also expected concussions to fall after national concussion rules came in. The paper tests both ideas against the data and describes which injuries send young wrestlers to emergency care.
