Title Učestalost sportskih ozljeda glave i lica u rukometaša Title (english) Frequency of sports-related head and face injuries in handball players Author Magdalena Radina Mentor Tea Galić (mentor)Committee member Livia Cigić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Tina Poklepović Peričić (član povjerenstva)Committee member Joško Božić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Split Defense date and country 2023-07-26, Croatia Scientific / art field, BIOMEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE Abstract Cilj istraživanja: Budući da je rukomet kontakti sport s visokom incidencijom ozljeda igrača,
cilj ovog istraživanja je procjena učestalosti ozljeda glave, orofacijalnog područja i dentalnih
ozljeda u rukometaša te njihovog znanja o korištenju dentalnih štitnika.
Metode: Istraživanje uključuje 50 rukometaša sa različitih pozicija te se provelo tijekom
rukometne sezone 2022./2023.. Ispitanici su članovi RK „Split“, RK „Ribola Kaštela“, RK
„Trogir“ i RK „Balić&Metličić“. Upitnik sadržava 36 pitanja podijeljenih u tri dijela. U prvom
dijelu upitnika obuhvaćena su pitanja o spolu i vremenskom razdoblju bavljenja rukometom.
Drugi dio upitnika čine pitanja o ozljedama glave, orofacijalnim i dentalnim ozljedama te
drugim ozljedama karakterističnima za rukomet. Pitanja o prevenciji dentalnih ozljeda
uključena su u treći dio upitnika.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 13 (26%) igrača na poziciji lijevog/desnog vanjskog,
11 (22%) sa pozicije srednjeg vanjskog, 9 (18%) pivota, 9 (18%) vratara i 8 (16%) ih je sa
pozicije lijevog/desnog krila. Prosjek godina igrača je 21, a bave se rukometom u prosjeku 11
godina. Tijekom dosadašnje karijere 45 (90%) bilo ih je ozlijeđeno. Najučestalije ozljede bile
su ozljede noge (38 ispitanika, 76%) i glave (38 ispitanika, 76%). Kod dentalnih ozljeda
najčešće su pogođeni bili gornji središnji sjekutići, a tip ozljede uglavnom je bila fraktura krune
zuba (16 ispitanika, 32%). Samo 4 (8%) ispitanika koriste dentalne štitnike, ostali navode
neudobnost razlogom nenošenja ili ih smatraju nepotrebnima.
Zaključak: Rezultati ovog anketnog istraživanja pokazali su da je rukomet sport sa velikom
vjerojatnošću nastanka ozljeda kako mišićno-koštanog sustava tako i glave, orofacijalnih
struktura i zuba. Svi anketirani rukometaši upoznati su bili s učinkovitosti dentalnih štitnika u
prevenciji ozljeda, no unatoč tome i dalje ih nisu koristili. Iz tog razloga važno nam je u
budućnosti dodatno educirati i osvjestiti sportske timove o važnosti prevencije ozljeda.
Abstract (english) Objectives: Since handball is a contact sport with a high incidence of player injuries, the aim
of this study is to assess the frequency of head injuries, orofacial area and dental injuries in
handball players and their knowledge of the use of dental protectors.
Methods: The research involves 50 handball players from different positions and was
conducted during the handball season 2022/2023. The respondents are members of RK "Split",
RK "Ribola Kaštela", RK "Trogir" and RK "Balić&Metličić". The questionnaire contains 36
questions divided into three parts. The first part of the questionnaire covers questions about
gender and the time period of handball practice. The second part of the questionnaire consists
of questions about head injuries, orofacial and dental injuries and other injuries characteristic
of handball. Questions about the prevention of dental injuries were included in the third part of
the questionnaire.
Results: The survey included 13 (26%) players in the left/right backcourt position, 11 (22%)
from the position of center backcourt, 9 (18%) pivots, 9 (18%) goalkeepers and 8 (16%) from
the position of left/right wing. The average age of players is 21, and they have been engaged
in handball for an average of 11 years. During their career so far, 45 (90%) have been injured.
The most common injuries were injuries to the leg (38 respondents, 76%) and head (38
respondents, 76%). In dental injuries, the upper central incisors were most often affected, and
the type of injury was mainly a fracture of the crown of the tooth (16 subjects, 32%). Only 4
(8%) of respondents use dental protectors, the rest cite discomfort as a reason for not wearing
them or consider them unnecessary.
Conclusion: The results of this survey have shown that handball is a sport with a high
probability of injury to both the musculoskeletal system and the head, orofacial structures and
teeth. All surveyed handball players were familiar with the effectiveness of dental protectors
in the prevention of injuries, but despite that they still did not use them. For this reason, it is
important for us in the future to further educate and raise awareness of sports teams about the
importance of injury prevention.
