TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Permanent sequelae in sports injuries JO - Emergency nurse SP - 6 EP - 6 VL - 7 IS - 8 N2 - The aim of this Italian paper was to identify permanent sequelae after sports injuries in children and adolescents. In 1985, a prospective register was drawn up of all sports related injuries reported that year by the residents of Trieste, Italy aged 6-15 years. Moderate to severe injuries (scoring 2 on the abbreviated injury scale (AIS) were the object of a longitudinal clinical study. In 1988, 30.9 per cent of the 220 subjects enrolled had sequelae and a further follow up study was undertaken in 1997.
