“…7 However, scaphoid fractures as a consequence of this particular mechanism of injury have been reported. 8 Much of the interest in ball specific characteristics has been motivated by the potential risk of brain injury through heading, which, like saving the ball, is an integral part of the game. A size 5 (adult) soccer ball, according to Football Association regulations, weighs 410-450 g, has an inflation pressure of 0.6-1.1 atmospheres, and a circumference between 68 and 70 cm.…”

Distal radial fractures in young goalkeepers: a case for an appropriately sized soccer ball

2001

Objectives-To assess the rate of wrist fractures in young goalkeepers sustained by the specific mechanism of "saving the ball" and the potential influence of ball size and environmental conditions. Methods-A prospective, clinic based study in one institution over a 17 month period. Patients were identified by specific questioning. Information on play circumstances and subsequent clinical progress was documented. Results-Twenty nine fractures of the distal radius were identified in young goalkeepers (age range 6-15 years) as a direct result of saving the ball. Most were managed simply in a plaster cast. Three patients required minor surgical interventions, and all fractures went on to unite without significant complications. Where ball size was known, 12 of the 15 fractures in children aged 11 years or less occurred as the result of impact with an adult sized ball compared with three when a junior ball was involved. This is statistically significant (p = 0.039). In the 10 children aged 12-15 years, only one fracture involved a junior ball; this is also statistically significant (p = 0.027). Six of the injuries (21%) occurred when the ball was kicked by an adult. Injuries occurred in both organised and informal games throughout the year. Conclusions-This specific mechanism of injury has not been widely acknowledged nor has the potential influence of ball size as a causative factor been examined. Recommendations for an appropriately sized soccer ball for young players exist but are not in universal use. Increased awareness of this particular injury mechanism is required.

“…Iako su prijelomi MTC kostiju brojčano zastupljeniji u odnosu na prijelome falangi, nije pronađena statistički značajna razlika između prijeloma MTC kostiju i prijeloma falangi prstiju (P = 0,117).

Naime, iako su u našem istraživanju brojčano zastupljeniji prijelomi MTC kostiju u odnosu na prijelome falangi, nije pronađena statistički značajna razlika između prijeloma MTC kostiju i prijeloma falangi prstiju (P = 0,117).…”

Cilj: Prikazati iskustva u operacijskom liječenju sportskih ozljeda i oštećenja ručnog zgloba i šake u posljednjih 10 godina. Ispitanici i metode: U ovo istraživanje uključeno je 70 pacijenata kod kojih je učinjeno 70 operacija zbog sportske ozljede ili oštećenja ručnog zgloba i šake u periodu od 1. 3. 2010. do 31. 3. 2020. u Klinici za ortopediju i traumatologiju Lovran. Rezultati: Od 70 pacijenata uključenih u ovo istraživanje, njih 14 (20 %) je ženskog spola, a 56 (80 %) muškog spola. Raspon dobi pacijenata je od 10 do 50 godina. Prosječna dob pacijenata iznosi 23,7 ± 8,5 godina. Kod 35 (50 %) pacijenata bila je zahvaćena lijeva strana, a kod preostalih 35 (50 %) pacijenata desna strana. Kod 34 (49 %) pacijenata sportskom ozljedom ili oštećenjem bila je zahvaćena šaka, dok je kod 36 (51 %) pacijenata sportskom ozljedom ili oštećenjem bio zahvaćen ručni zglob. Od operacijski liječenih sportskih ozljeda u području šake (28) najzastupljeniji su operacijski zahvati osteosinteze prijeloma metakarpalnih kostiju (20) i falangi prstiju (8). Za razliku od operacijski liječenih sportskih ozljeda u području šake, učestalije je operacijsko liječenje sportskih oštećenja negoli ozljeda u području ručnog zgloba (P < 0,001). Zaključci: Ovo je prvo istraživanje u našoj populaciji kojim su dobiveni podaci o vrstama sportskih ozljeda i oštećenja ručnog zgloba i šake liječenih operacijski u posljednjih 10 godina. Gotovo 10 % operacija u području ručnog zgloba i šake su operacije sportskih ozljeda i oštećenja. Iako su prijelomi najčešći uzrok operacijskog liječenja sportskih ozljeda ručnog zgloba i šake, ozljede i oštećenja mekih tkiva ručnog zgloba i šake također su učestali uzrok operacijskog liječenja.

“…A number of different types of hand injuries have been described while playing soccer but these are mostly fractures or associated ligamentous injuries with less of a crushing element to the tissues [35]. Karate is a sport, which may cause a crush injury to the hand or forearm since the hand is used as a weapon to demolish bricks and other hardware [36].…”

Crush Injuries of the Hand Part I: History, Mechanism and Pathomechanics

This chapter, the first of two; deals with the basics of crush injuries of the hand as opposed to crush syndrome. The definition is explained and the differences are outlined. A journey through the historical review of the causative mechanisms gives the reader an insight into the machines inflicting a spectrum of injuries and their sequelae. We see how the tools either remain the same or change with time, exacting similar types of injuries but in a different manner and timescale due to mechanisation. Thus it is vital to grasp the mechanics to get a basic understanding of the pathomechanics, enabling one to address the injury by reversing the inflictive force while maintaining respect for the machine. These are humbling injuries that require experience, expertise and enterprise by a dedicated and cohesive team always open to learning.

Hand Injuries Due to Soccer

Abstract: Fifty-two hand injuries due to soccer were seen in one season. Approximately one-third of these were in goalkeepers, due mainly to contact with the ball; two-third were in other members of the team, due to either contact with a player or the ground.
