Extrinsic Factors Contributing to Achilles Tendon Ruptures During NFL Games From 2010-2023: A Retrospective Analysis
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to evaluate the extrinsic factors contributing to the incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures among NFL players from 2010 to 2023, specifically examining the influence of playing surface, timing within the season, quarter of play, and rest days prior to injury. The findings revealed an increase in Achilles ruptures since 2020, but no significant associations were found between these injuries and the examined extrinsic factors. The authors suggest that identifying modifiable risk factors could inform injury prevention strategies in professional football.
