Abstract

American football is one of the most popular sports in the United States and is a high-speed, high-impact collision sport. Athletes are susceptible to various injuries ranging from muscle strains to career-ending fractures and ligamentous injuries. Common injuries sustained in American football include concussions, anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament tears, glenohumeral shoulder instability, acromioclavicular joint injuries and clavicle fractures, and ankle sprains and syndesmotic injuries. Concussions can have severe physical and mental sequela, and the key to prevention of concussions is recognition of symptoms, timely treatment, and knowledge of RTP guidelines. The majority of extremity injuries cannot be avoided, but can be limited with proper physical and mental training.
