Contact breast injuries among female athletes: a systematic review
Key Points
This review investigated the occurrence of contact breast injuries among female athletes, which negatively affect performance but are underreported across all sports we examined.
Players and medical staff need to be educated regarding the existence of breast injuries to help develop the necessary environment for reporting.
To simplify injury data collection and improve data quality, a standardised taxonomy for female-specific injuries is needed.
