abstract="Head injury is a major cause of morbidity in Western society and sport related incidents account for approximately 11% of all head injured patients attending Accident and Emergency Departments. Golf was shown to be one of the sports most commonly associated with head injury requiring referral to a regional neurosurgical centre. Previous studies have demonstrated that it is predominantly children who sustain golf related head injuries which present either to an accident and emergency department or a regional neurosurgical centre. This study examines the number and pattern of golf related head injuries in children presenting to an accident and emergency department or requiring admission to the regional neurosurgical centre, over a three month period.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
