Implication
Refines recurrent injury surveillance in athletes; extends prior frameworks by distinguishing reinjuries from exacerbations based on recovery status.
Key Points
- The study aims to establish a cohesive framework for categorizing recurrent injuries based on recovery status of the initial injury.
- Developed a recording and reporting framework for recurrent injuries.
- Subcategorized recurrent injuries into reinjuries and exacerbations.
- Defined recovery status based on medical opinion.
- Identified the need for consistent terminology in injury classification.
- Facilitated separate investigation of risk factors for reinjuries and exacerbations.
- Enhanced understanding of rehabilitation effectiveness prior to return to play.

Recording and reporting framework for recurrent injuries
Provides a standardized framework to differentiate between reinjuries and exacerbations in injury surveillance to better investigate risk factors and rehabilitation efficacy.
Cite This Study
Fuller et al. (2007) studied Recurrent injuries. Recording and reporting framework for recurrent injuries was evaluated. A proposed recording and reporting framework subcategorizes recurrent injuries into reinjuries and exacerbations based on whether a player was fully recovered from the preceding index injury.
