Accidentology and Traumatology Associated With Foiling in Brittany

In the 2010s, the practice of water sports was turned upside down by the arrival of a new discipline: foiling. The number of sailors, particularly amateurs, is increasing every every year. The foil offers greater speed and height, and has therefore the accidents and injuries that result. injuries. But there are very few studies on the subject. The TRAUMAF study proposes to compare the distribution of the number of patients injured during water sports with and without the use of foils. The study also looks at patient management and the type of injury. The aim is to anticipate the management of these patients during periods of practice of these sports.

    Time frame: 12 months

    Percentage of boating accidents involving foils.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Provide the doctor in charge of the patient with objective data on the most likely lesions and their potential severity.

    Time frame: 12 months

    Distribution of the frequency of different types of injury according to whether or not the foil was used (comparison between the two study groups).

  2. Analysis of the type and location of lesions observed between the foil and no-foil groups.

    Time frame: 12 months

    Comparison of the location of injuries observed between the foil and non-foil groups. Comparison of accident type (fall, cut, impact, etc.) between the two groups.
