abstract="OBJECTIVE: Determine the association between concussion and subsequent contact, non-contact, and overuse lower extremity (LE) injuries in a cohort of adolescent  athletes. Secondarily, to identify this association between males and females. STUDY  DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Summer athletic events with participants ages  12-18. MAIN OUTCOME: Anonymous survey included sport-related injuries (injury  month/year) and participants classified injuries as a contact, non-contact, overuse  injury, or concussion. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to  examine associations between a concussion event and a subsequent LE injury while  controlling for age and any previous LE injury. <br><br>RESULTS: A concussion was reported  in 219 athletes (Female = 96, 44%) and were matched with 219 non-concussed athletes  (438 total participants). Concussion was not association with a specific injury  mechanism but was significant for any subsequent LE injury (OR = 1.58  95%CI = [1.03-2.41]; p < 0.05). Concussed females were more likely to report any  subsequent LE injury compared to non-concussed female athletes (2.49[1.31, 4.74];  p < 0.01). This relationship was not observed between concussed and non-concussed  males (1.11[0.62-1.99]; p > 0.5). <br><br>CONCLUSION: A history of concussion was associated  with any subsequent LE injury, but not associated with a specific mechanism of  injury. The association with concussion and a subsequent LE injury was different  between males and females.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
