Swiss Concussion Center (SCC) and Schulthess Clinic, Zurich, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Head injuries in children playing organized football were analyzed over two seasons in multiple European countries, revealing a total of 39 documented head injuries among 791 overall injuries.
- The incidence of head/neck injuries was found to be low, with 0.25 injuries per 1,000 match hours, and most injuries were attributed to contact with other players or collisions.
- Despite the low incidence, the study highlights the importance of raising awareness among coaches and parents about the potential risks of concussions, especially from impacts to the back of the head.
