    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Hand injuries represent a significant concern in contact sports.
    • Soccer, a globally popular sport, involves dynamic movements and physical contact, leading to various injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and mechanisms of hand injuries in soccer players over a single season.
    • To differentiate injury patterns between goalkeepers and field players.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of hand injuries treated during one soccer season.
    • Categorization of injuries based on player position (goalkeeper vs. field player) and mechanism of injury (ball contact, player contact, ground contact).

    Main Results:

    • A total of 52 hand injuries were recorded in one season.
    • Goalkeepers accounted for approximately one-third of injuries, primarily from ball impact.
    • Field players sustained two-thirds of injuries, mainly from player-to-player or player-to-ground contact.

    Conclusions:

    • Hand injuries are a notable risk in soccer, affecting all player positions.
    • Injury mechanisms vary significantly between goalkeepers and field players, necessitating tailored prevention strategies.
