Hand injuries are a common consequence of playing rugby. A prospective study of all rugby injuries referred to a hand clinic over the course of one season was carried out. 72 patients with such injuries were seen. There were 46 fractures and 26 soft tissue injuries. A substantial number were caused deliberately by opponents. One-third of the injuries were thought to be preventable.

Abstract:
Rugby union is the fastest growing sport in the USA, and its growth is only expected to continue to climb with the approaching 2023 Rugby World Cup. Rugby union carries risk for general and sport-specific injury. Tackles and high-impact collisions are a regular component of the game, and although often compared to American football, rugby union carries a unique pattern of injuries, with certain injuries occurring at a significantly higher rate. This review is aimed at familiarizing our orthopaedic workforce to the sport of rugby union and the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of the rugby u

Abstract:
Epidemiological studies consistently report that muscular strains are a primary injury type in rugby union with the majority of the strains occurring to the quadricep and hamstring musculature. Recently it has been suggested that poor eccentric muscular strength is a precursor to hamstring and quadriceps strains during intermittent sports that require rapid acceleration and deceleration. Despite the high incidence of these muscle injuries in Rugby Union there has been little research into the possible mechanisms involved. Thus, the purpose of this study was to measure the physiological and per

Abstract:
Rugby Union is one of the most popular team sports in the world. It is a contact sport that emphasizes possession and control of the ball. By virtue of its full contact nature and lack of protective equipment, Rugby Union is associated with a high incidence of injury relative to many other sports. In fact, Rugby Union carries a significantly higher relative risk of injury than American football, with increase differences in the overall rates of injuries. There are multiple distinct phases of Rugby Union: The Scrum, Tackle, Ruck, Maul and Lineout. Each phase of rugby has its own inherent risk and incidence of injuries which include but not limited to concussions, as well as sprains, strains, and fractures of the upper and lower extremity ligament. The majority of injuries occur either during the scrum and tackling phases of the game. The governing body of Rugby Union is constantly adapting the rules to reduce injuries. Some of these rule changes may have unintended consequences. This article will review the current literature and describe the injuries in each phase of rugby as well as discussing concussion and the effect Covid-19 has had on Rugby Union.
