Incidence of injuries in young soccer players: epidemiological study in an Italian elite club

Growth, maturation and injuries in high-level youth football (soccer): A mini review

“…Expressing injuries relative to training and match hours is therefore recommended. Using the median of point estimates for reported injury rates (this does not consider the size of each study, nor the uncertainty in their estimates) and keeping methodological differences in mind, the number of injuries per 1,000 h appears similar between genders ( Figure 1 ): around 6.3 (range: 1.3–12.1) for boys ( 18 – 20 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 31 – 33 , 36 , 37 , 41 , 42 , 46 – 57 ) and 6.4 (2.1–9.1) for girls ( 44 , 55 , 58 – 60 ). Matches are consistently associated with greater risk compared to training sessions in both boys (match: 13.4, training: 4.0) and girls (match: 22.4, training: 4.6) ( 18 – 20 , 24 – 26 , 29 , 31 – 33 , 36 , 42 , 46 – 50 , 53 – 55 , 58 , 60 – 63 ).…”

“…Injury severity is commonly calculated as the number of days elapsed from the day of injury until the day the player returns to full training and/or is available for match selection ( 64 ), often presented as the proportion of injuries falling within defined bins (e.g., percentage of all injuries lasting 7–28 days). Although cut-offs vary slightly between studies and the choice of injury definition affects distributions, the combined findings suggest that 38% (7–74%) of injuries in boys last less than a week, another 38% (16–67%) last between a week and a month, while every fifth injury (21%, 2–37%) lasts more than a month ( 18 , 20 , 21 , 23 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 31 – 37 , 39 , 41 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 53 – 56 , 61 ). For girls, a larger proportion of “mild” injuries is observed, with around a half (51%, 38–52%) lasting a week or less, a third (36%, 32–41%) between a week and a month, and the remaining 16% (12–20%) more than a month ( 55 , 58 , 60 ).…”

“…In general, injury rates are not the same across age groups; however, the age-related pattern is not unified based on the available research. Several studies indicate that rates increase with age ( 24 , 25 , 28 , 31 , 34 , 35 , 41 , 54 ), although others report less clear patterns or bell-shaped relationships peaking around the U15-16 groups ( 20 , 23 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 30 , 37 , 39 , 48 , 53 ). Injury severity and burden also appears to be influenced by age, often peaking in the U14-16 age groups ( 21 , 24 , 35 , 37 , 53 ).…”

Short-term outcomes of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for ankle fracture: a single-center retrospective cohort study

“…The ankle joint is the largest weight-bearing joint and Traumatic of the ankle joint is one of the most common intra-articular fractures [1], which constitutes almost 40% of the sports injuries and accounts for approximately 10% of emergency department visits [2,3]. The amount of ankle fracture patients increased with the development of the aging society, which often causes a high disabled rate and increases the economic burden [4,5]. Moreover, the diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) system has a signi cant impact on the hospital market.…”

Effect of enhanced recovery after surgery in the managements of ankle fracture patients: A single-center retrospective cohort study

“…The ankle joint is the largest weight-bearing joint in human body and the fracture is the most common intra-articular fracture [1]. The rate of ankle fracture increased with the development of aging society, sports activities, or even widely use of cell phones, which often causes a high disabled rate and increases the economic burden of the family and society [2,3]. The managements of ankle fracture at the time of operation remains one of the most challenging tasks for orthopedists because of special anatomic.…”
