Every 25 seconds, a young athlete experiences a sports injury so severe,
it sends him to the emergency room.

.

New research released earlier this month by Safe Kids Worldwide studied
injuries in the 14 most popular sports. Concussions accounted for 163,000
emergency room visits, or a concussion-related ER visit every three
minutes.

.

The report shows it isnt just high school athletes suffering concussions.
Those ages 12 to 15 make up nearly half of those sports-related
concussions. In addition, the study reports, younger children with
concussions take longer to recover than older children.

.

In 2011, the sport with the most injuries was football, which also has the
highest concussion rate. Wrestling and cheerleading had the second- and
third-highest concussion rates. Ice hockey also has an extremely high
number of concussions.

.

The more common injuries that we see in school-age children vary between
sports, said Dr. Michael M. Hess, an orthopedic surgeon in Bountiful.
Football has some of the more significant injuries. Concussions have
become a significant problem. Repetitive concussions are also a major
concern.

.

Symptoms of concussion can include a brief loss of consciousness,
headache, nausea, vomiting and confusion, Hess said. The patient may also
feel like they are in a fog or dizzy and experience neck pain,
irritability and confusion.

.

Hess said any athlete with a suspected concussion should be evaluated by
trained health care providers. If the patient is unconscious, he or she
should be treated as if a neck or head injury has been sustained. The
player should never go back to playing until he has been evaluated and
cleared by a physician.
