Abstract

Introduction: Many sports injuries are recurrent; people can have the same injury repeatedly or sustain other injuries subsequent to their first injury. Whilst subsequent sports injuries are discussed in the literature from a sports medicine clinical management, recovery and return-to-play perspective, specific guidance on how to appropriately code and analyse them is lacking in the sports medicine literature. Preventing subsequent injury requires a strong evidence-base and this, in turn, needs a foundation of high quality data and robust conclusions drawn from prospective studies. Understanding the reasons for subsequent injury can be based on clinical suppositions, but correctly analysed data from sports injury research can better guide prevention, especially at the population level.
