abstract="As the first Danish athletic association, TST-79 in 1995 appointed a permanent sports doctor for use by all its members. We publish the results of the first year. Seventeen percent of all handball players and 11% of all football [soccer] players were seen in the consultation. The athletes were between 10 and 69 years old. Seventy-eight percent of the injured athletes could be diagnosed, instructed and, if necessary, treated after one consultation. Eight percent were sent for further examination at a hospital. Ultrasound examinations were necessary for establishing the diagnosis in 10% of the injured athletes. Some of the injuries were serious, and would probably not have been seen if the athletes did not have the possibility of consulting a sports doctor. This would increase the risk of chronic injury. It is suggested that a permanent arrangement with a sports doctor is an economically reasonable investment.<p /> <p>Language: da</p>",
