Year: 2016

Abstract: As rock-climbing increases in popularity, the number of rock-climbing-related injuries also increases. Despite the available literature, there remains a paucity of information about upper extremity injuries sustained by climbers and no studies to date focus on sex-specific injuries in climbers.
