Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Military Health

Background:

  • Analysis of parachuting injuries at the Sultans Oman Parachute Unit (SOPRA) in Oman.
  • Focus on injury rates and patterns within a military parachute unit.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and characteristics of parachuting-related injuries.
  • To identify risk factors and provide recommendations for injury prevention in military parachutists.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 150 patients referred to Rustaq Regional Referral Hospital.
  • Classification of injuries into severe (fractures, dislocations, head trauma) and minor (contusions, bruises, sprains).

Main Results:

  • Severe injury rate of 9%, with ankle fractures being the most frequent severe injury.
  • Minor injury rate of 13.5%.
  • Significant positive correlation between age and injury rate (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • The study's findings compare favorably with international data, with a notable exception of a higher incidence of severe injuries.
  • Recommendations are provided to mitigate injury rates in military parachuting operations.
