    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Adolescent Health
    • Orthopedic Injury

    Background:

    • Wrist hyperextension injuries are common in sports.
    • Adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to developing musculoskeletal systems.
    • Football, with its dynamic movements, presents risks for such injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document and analyze wrist hyperextension injuries in adolescents attending football matches.
    • To elucidate the specific mechanisms leading to these injuries in this demographic.
    • To provide insights for potential prevention and management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case review of seven adolescent patients.
    • Clinical data collection including injury circumstances and presentation.
    • Analysis of the biomechanics involved in the reported injuries.

    Main Results:

    • Seven cases of wrist hyperextension injuries were identified in adolescent football attendees.
    • Common mechanisms involved sudden forceful impacts or falls onto an outstretched hand.
    • Clinical presentations varied, necessitating thorough evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Football environments pose a risk for adolescent wrist hyperextension injuries.
    • Understanding the injury mechanism is crucial for targeted prevention.
    • Further research into protective measures and specific training modifications is warranted.
