abstract="This article is an analysis of the insurance claims for injuries sustained in high school football for the 1965, 1975-1977, and 1983-1985 football seasons. Thirteen percent of all injuries each season involved the knee. In 1965, 12% of patients were treated operatively, and, in 1985, 33% underwent surgery. Follow-up questionnaires completed by 446 (68%) of the players injured during 1975, 1976, and 1977, after a mean of 10 years, showed that 25% of players with ligament injuries, 30% with internal derangement of the knee, and 17% with patellar injuries claim disability for some athletic pursuits.
