Goodman, A. D., Twomey-Kozak, J., DeFroda, S., Owens, B.D. (2018). “Epidemiology of shoulder and elbow injuries in National Collegiate Athletic Association wrestlers, 2009-2010 through 2013-2014.” The Physician and Sportsmedicine: 1-6.

“CONCLUSIONS:

Collegiate wrestlers have a high incidence of shoulder and elbow injury, with specific risk factors identified here. This at-risk patient population should be monitored closely for signs of fatigue, which may leave them susceptible to injury. Further prospective investigation of wrestling injuries with a special attention to injury prevention in higher risk athletes are needed to further validate these findings.”
