- Abstract
Our goal was to study the medical reasons for the failures of Mali's national men's football team in the first round of the finals in 2008 and 2010. Material and methods: This was a retrospective study during 21 months of follow-up of the Mali men's national football team (May 2008 to January 2010). Our study covered 16 to 30 players initially and then reduced to 23 during the final phase of CAN Angola 2010 including 8 forwards, 7 midfielders, 5 defenders and 3 goalkeepers. Clinical data (history, anthropometric and hemodynamic parameters, trauma, non-traumatic disorders) and paraclinical data (Echography, MRI, X-ray and ECG) were collected and recorded on individual survey sheets from medical certificates of fitness, match reports and match registry. This data was then processed and entered on WORLD and analyzed by SPSS 12.0 software. We have used as a diagnosis the one mentioned in the records and match reports. Results: Contusions were the most common traumatic conditions with 46.15%. The matches were more traumatic than the training. Competitive matches were more traumatic than friendlies. The lesions were mostly benign. Attackers and midfielders were the most affected (67.7%). Rhinitis (29.4%) gastroenteritis (17.54%) were the most common nontraumatic conditions. We recorded few cases of malaria (11 cases or 6.43%). Osteo-articular and muscular ultrasound was the most performed follow-up examination. Conservative therapies have been the most widely used. Conclusion: Players, even though they are healthy subjects, are not spared by signs and pathologies that are not traumatic.
