Abstract
Auricular hematomas are often encountered in a sports medicine practice, most commonly among wrestlers, but also in boxers, football and rugby players, and judo athletes.(1) A relatively new treatment, the use of a silicone splint, offers several advantages over other treatments with regard to the risk of recurrence, observation of the site, and return to competition.
