TweetHow often do re-injuries happen? To start, lets define a recurrent injury as an injury to a location on the body that previously sustained the same injury. The recurrent injury needed to result in at least a one-day time loss from play and needed to require some type of medical attention, whether that be an athletic trainer's analysis on the sideline or more advanced treatment at a local hospital or urgent care center.

What are some of the most common re-injury zones? Just to highlight a few of the most common especially with athletes, are as follows:

The ankle is the most common site for recurrent injury. With the shoulder trailing behind as the next most common site for recurrent injury. Incomplete ligament sprains are another, especially in the ankle zone. Although recurrent injuries are not more likely to require surgery compared to new injuries, The most common recurrent injuries requiring surgery are usually shoulder dislocations, labrial tears, rotator cuff injuries and torn knee cartilage.

Compared to an athlete sustaining a new injury, an athlete sustaining a recurrent injury is usually over three times more likely to discontinue participation in their sport.

The best way to preventing recurrent injuries begins with preventing initial injuries. In particular, developing balance, flexibility, and functional strength may help prevent against ankle injuries. Once an injury does occur, appropriate rest and rehabilitation are crucial. An athlete who returns to play too soon following an initial injury is more likely to sustain a recurrent injury. Although prophylactic devices such as ankle braces may help protect against future injury, additional research is needed to determine the efficiency of such equipment.
