Background:

Auricular hematomas are common injuries in contact sports like wrestling, boxing, football, rugby, and judo.
Traditional treatments for auricular hematomas carry risks of recurrence and can impede athlete recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of a novel silicone splint treatment for auricular hematomas.
To compare the silicone splint method with existing treatments regarding recurrence, site monitoring, and return to play.

Main Methods:

A cohort of athletes with auricular hematomas was treated using a silicone splint.
Outcomes assessed included recurrence rates, ease of wound site observation, and time to return to competition.

Main Results:

The silicone splint treatment demonstrated a reduced risk of hematoma recurrence.
This method facilitated straightforward observation of the injury site.
Athletes experienced a quicker return to their respective sports.

Conclusions:

Silicone splint application is a promising and advantageous treatment for auricular hematomas in athletes.
This technique offers benefits in managing recurrence, monitoring the injury, and expediting the athlete's return to sport.
