Head Injuries in Rugby
How many concussion is in rugby
Concussion incidence increased, while severity remained unchanged, during the 4 years of this study. Playing more than 25 matches in the 2015/2016 season meant that sustaining concussion was more likely than not sustaining concussion. The 38% greater injury risk after concussive injury (compared with non-concussive injury) suggests return to play protocols warrant investigation.
Concussion was associated with 60% risk of subsequent injury (of any type) in rugby union and 50% in association football (soccer),8 in addition to a greater risk of sustaining lower limb injuries in college-level contact sports.9 10 Subsequent injuries also occur more quickly following a concussion than a non-concussive injury.7 However, it is not known what tissue types and body areas are at increased risk in rugby union.
