Shoulder Injuries in Mens Collegiate Lacrosse, 2004-2009

Conclusion: Shoulder injuries are common in NCAA men’s lacrosse and are an important source of lost playing time. Acromioclavicular injuries were the most frequent injury in this series, but labral and instability injuries were also common. In this increasingly popular contact sport, an understanding of the epidemiology and mechanism of shoulder injuries may be used to improve protective equipment and develop injury prevention.
