Pediatric tennis injuries are mostly minor sprains and strains, with children suffering a higher proportion of facial injuries and adolescents experiencing more ankle injuries.
Pediatric tennis players (children and adolescents) from a national database over a decade
Tennis injuries (types and age-related patterns)
Pediatric tennis injuries are generally minor, but age-specific patterns highlight the need for targeted prevention such as protective eyewear for children and neuromuscular training for adolescents.
Sprains/strains were the most common injuries, with distinct age-related patterns observed, including a higher proportion of facial injuries in children and ankle injuries in adolescents. Most injuries were minor, reflecting a relatively safe injury profile. These findings highlight potential targets for injury prevention strategies, such as protective eyewear and neuromuscular training.IRB approval was not required for this study because only publicly available, de-identified data were used in the analysis.
