| Abstract/Contents: | "We retro- and prospectively compared collegiate football injuries that occurred on the grass and Tartan Turf® (3M Company, St. Paul, Minnesota) fields at the University of Wisconsin. Retrospective injury data were obtained from questionnaires returned by 235 of 450 athletes that competed from 1960 to 1973. Prospective injury data were obtained by examination of athletes injured from 1975 through 1977. Although the number of injuries occurring on each playing surface were not significantly different, the type and severity of injuries were significantly different. We found that significantly more serious sprains and torn ligaments occurred on grass than occurred on Tartan Turf® . There were significantly more scrapes (minor injuries) on the Tartan Turf® than on the grass. We conclude that we may be prematurely returning to natural grass playing surfaces, and-to the detriment of the athlete-ending production of one synthetic turf that helped reduce major injuries." |
