Abstract
While concussive head injuries are
exceedingly common in boxing, mortality in boxing is usually on account of
traumatic SDH. Many young boxers have perished in the ring leading to calls by
physicians and physician associations to ban the sport of boxing. Can the
incidence of traumatic SDH be reduced by enhanced medical protocols and
implementation of a range of rules and regulations aimed at minimizing risk and
ensuring the health and safety of combatants?
