abstract="OBJECT: In this study the author presents his personal observations concerning football injuries in a historical perspective with additional literature citations. <br><br>METHODS: Aspects of brachial plexus and cervical spine injuries, neurapraxia, face mask infractions, concussion, acute subdural hematoma (SDH), and the so-called second-impact syndrome are addressed. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The list of conclusions presented in this paper is as follows: there is more than one kind of brachial plexus injury; wedging of cervical vertebrae may be normal; neurapraxia presents a problem for return to play; face mask injuries are rarely serious; definitions of concussion vary; acute SDH requires immediate transfer to a hospital; and the second-impact syndrome may be a myth to some.
