Abstract:
The increasing participation in extensive athletics and leisure time activities correlates with increasing sport injuries. The surgeons tasks include being involved in preventing sport injuries and ensuring a correct diagnosis, as well as providing adequate surgical therapy. After sport injuries, the true diagnosis can be obscured by functional compensation. Therefore the case history and analysis of the trauma mechanism are important for an adequate surgical therapy.
