title: Musculoskeletal injuries.
abstract: In 2007-2009, BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) recorded 979 encounters at which a possible sports related injury was managed in a patient aged 5-24 years. Although there is no way of determining the cause of an injury through BEACH data, we selected musculoskeletal injuries which could be caused by a sporting activity, excluding problems that were said to be work related, and limited the sample by the age of patient.
