| description | Background: Professional and amateur soccer players often perform dramatic on-field feats of celebration after scoring a goal. Injuries
may occur during these activities.
Purpose: With the aim of preventing such âscore-celebration injuriesâ in the future, the authors examine these events in professional
soccer players and discuss potential avenues for prevention.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
Methods: Over the course of 2 seasons (1996â1998), 152 soccer players were evaluated at an orthopaedic clinic for injuries incurred
during matches. Nine players (6%) had injured themselves while celebrating after scoring goals in a match. The type of celebration,
injury type, treatment, and mean duration of recovery were noted.
Results: Seven of the 9 patients were male professional soccer players with ages ranging between 17 and 29 years (mean age, 24 years).
The injuries occurred when the playing ground was natural turf in 8 cases; most injuries occurred in the second half of the
game. The types of celebration maneuvers were sliding (prone or supine) and sliding while kneeling in 5 cases, piling up on
jubilant teammates in 3 cases, and being tackled while racing away in 1 case. Injuries included ankle, clavicle, and rib fractures;
medial collateral ligament sprain; low back strain; hamstring and adductor muscle strain; quadriceps muscle sprain; and coccyx
contusion. The mean duration for recovery was 6.2 weeks. Rival team players were usually not responsible for such trauma.
Conclusion: Exaggerated celebrations after making a goal, such as sliding, piling up, and tackling a teammate when racing away, can result
in serious injury. In addition to general measures for preventing soccer injuries, coaches and team physicians should teach
self-control and behavior modification to minimize the risk of such injuries. More restrictive rules, which penalize such
behavior, may assist in the prevention of score-celebration injuries.
