Abstract

Purpose: Over 6 million people in the United States participate in martial arts, and the focus on striking the face poses a significant risk of injury to the eye. The objective of this study is to characterize the nature and incidence of martial arts-related eye injuries in the United States.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database served as the basis of the study. The NEISS database was queried for eye injuries related to martial arts from 2012 to 2021. The entries that resulted were coded for demographic information, mechanism of injury, martial arts discipline, and diagnosis. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28 through descriptive and χ2 analyses.

Results: There were 162 reported cases of martial arts-related eye injuries in 4- to 62-years-old patients with most injuries occurring in males (84%). The most represented martial arts discipline was boxing (30.5%), and the most frequently reported mechanism of injury was punching (30.2%). The most frequently reported diagnosis resulting from eye injury was corneal abrasion (40.5%), while sight-threatening diagnoses were reported, including retinal detachment (n = 4), vitreous hemorrhage (n = 2), and open globe (n = 2).

Conclusions: Despite the significant risk of ocular injury from martial arts, corneal abrasion was the most commonly diagnosed with excellent prognosis. Sight-threatening diagnoses were also reported, indicating that martial arts athletes should be educated about the risks of eye injury and the importance of regular eye examination when practicing combat sports.

透过击打看本质:2012 年至 2021 年武术眼部损伤综合研究。
目的:美国有 600 多万人参加武术活动,而武术的重点是击打面部,这给眼睛带来了很大的受伤风险。本研究旨在了解美国与武术相关的眼部损伤的性质和发生率:本研究以国家电子伤害监测系统(NEISS)数据库的回顾性分析为基础。研究人员在 NEISS 数据库中查询了 2012 年至 2021 年期间与武术相关的眼部损伤情况。对所得条目进行了编码,包括人口统计学信息、受伤机制、武术学科和诊断。数据采用 SPSS 28 版进行描述性分析和 χ2 分析:共有 162 例与武术相关的眼部损伤报告,患者年龄在 4 岁至 62 岁之间,其中大多数损伤发生在男性身上(84%)。最常见的武术项目是拳击(30.5%),最常见的受伤机制是拳击(30.2%)。报告最多的眼部损伤诊断结果是角膜擦伤(40.5%),而威胁视力的诊断结果包括视网膜脱落(4 例)、玻璃体出血(2 例)和眼球开放(2 例):结论:尽管武术有很大的眼部损伤风险,但角膜擦伤是最常见的诊断,预后良好。结论:尽管武术有很大的眼部损伤风险,但角膜擦伤是最常见的诊断,预后良好,也有危及视力的诊断报告,这表明武术运动员应了解眼部损伤的风险,以及在进行格斗运动时定期进行眼部检查的重要性。
