CONCLUSION
The growing popularity of volleyball warrants further analysis of sports-related injuries. This study describes such injuries to the craniofacial region presenting to emergency departments. The most common type of injury were lacerations and most injuries involved the face. As safety precautions and equipment are considered for use in volleyball, physicians must understand how to provide sideline and emergency care to those sustaining facial trauma injuries. Facial trauma experts, such as otolaryngologists or plastic surgeons, can assist in the design and implementation of protective equipment.
