“…Their rarity is also confirmed by examination of the prevailing literature, which reveals that serious spinal injuries are described only as case reports. 46,53 Most authors reported the incidence of all neck and back problems as being between 2% and 10%, but without any further specific analyses. 26,38,58 Ekstrand and Gillquist 11 reported that 5% of all injuries occurred in the back, while Schmidt-Olsen et al 52 found a somewhat higher proportion (14.1%).…”

“…The criteria used to describe the severity of an injury are rarely consistent across studies. 27 Details of severe injuries have been discussed either in terms of case reports of fatal incidents 46,53 or have concerned only commonly injured specific body parts, such as the knee, ankle, hip, and cervical spine. 1,17,32,37,47,57 Few studies about the incidence of injuries in football players of differing ages and skill levels have been published.…”

The aims of this prospective study were to analyze factors related to the occurrence of severe football injuries in players of different ages (14 to 42 years) and different skill levels (local teams to first league teams). In the Czech Republic, 398 players were followed up for 1 year, during which time they sustained 686 injuries. Of these, 113 (16.5%) were severe injuries. Ninety-seven severe injuries (86%) were able to be documented in detail. Trauma was the cause of 81.5% of the injuries and overuse was the cause of 18.5%. Joint sprains predominated (30%), followed by fractures (16%), muscle strains (15%), ligament ruptures (12%), meniscal tears and contusions (8%), and other injuries. Injuries to the knee were most prevalent (29%), followed by injuries to the ankle (19%) and spine (9%). More injuries occurred during games (59%) than in practice. Twenty-four percent of the injured players had suffered a previous injury of the same body part. Forty-six percent of injuries were caused by contact and 54% involved no body contact. Thirty-one percent of severe injuries were caused by foul play. From these results and the analysis of injuries in specific body parts, the following factors were determined to influence the occurrence of severe injuries: 1) personal factors (intrinsic): age of player, previous injuries, joint instability, abnormality of the spine, poor physical condition, poor football skills, or inadequate treatment and rehabilitation of injuries; 2) environmental factors (extrinsic): subjective exercise overload during practices and games, amount and quality of training, playing field conditions, equipment (wearing of shin guards and taping) and violations of existing rules (foul play).
