摘要

目的：女子足球经历了显著的增长，全世界大约有1660万女球员，强调了对伤病研究的必要性。前交叉韧带（ACL）断裂是主要关注的问题，特别是在精英球员中，了解损伤发生率和恢复的性别差异对于制定有效的预防和康复策略至关重要。方法：回顾性分析2022-2023赛季欧洲五大联赛（意甲、英超、法甲、西甲和德甲）男女球员ACL损伤情况。共有169名球员（68名女性，101名男性）接受了ACL重建。收集了年龄、身体质量指数（BMI）、损伤史、患侧、比赛位置和恢复比赛（RTP）结果的数据。结果：女性运动员的平均RTP（300天）明显高于男性运动员（248天）(P)。结论：本研究突出了职业足球前交叉韧带损伤恢复的显著性别差异。与男性足球运动员相比，职业女子足球运动员似乎需要更长的康复期，其比赛回报（RTP）显著增加，但退学的风险较低（8.8%比20.7%）。进一步的研究和有针对性的干预是改善女性运动员康复的必要条件。

ACL tears in female and male professional soccer players

Purpose

Women’s football has experienced significant growth, with approximately 16.6 million female players worldwide, emphasizing the need for research focused on injuries. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are a major concern, particularly among elite players, and understanding differences of sex in injury incidence and recovery is crucial for developing effective prevention and rehabilitation strategies.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed ACL injuries in male and female players from the top five European leagues (Serie A, Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga, and Bundesliga) during the 2022–2023. A total of 169 players (68 female, 101 male) who underwent ACL reconstruction were included. Data on age, body mass index (BMI), injury history, affected side, playing position, and return-to-play (RTP) outcomes were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS® software with a significance level of P < 0.05.

Results

Female players had a significantly longer average RTP (300 days) compared to male players (248 days) (P < 0.001). Furthermore, 8.8 % of female athletes did not return to play, while 20.7 % of male athletes failed to achieve RTP (P = 0.031). The defender position had the highest non-return rate (25 %).

Conclusion

This study highlights significant sex differences in ACL injury recovery in professional football. Professional female soccer players appear to require a longer rehabilitation period with a significant increase in return to play (RTP) compared to male soccer players, but with a lower risk of dropout (8.8 % vs 20.7 %). Further research and targeted interventions are essential to improve rehabilitation for female players.
