All other types of injuries count for only about 20%. A cross-check with other information sources on the distribution of types of injuries in sport reveals that in the EU IDB data probably teeth and injuries probably are underestimated. Frequently, patients with such injuries do not seek help in general emergency departments, but go directly to dental or ophtalmologic clinics. Open wounds have a significant share only in field hockey, where e.g. cuts are not uncommon as consequent of contacts with the ball or the opponent’s stick (table/figure 27). Ball

The risk for disabilities in team-ball-sports is higher than the average of all types of sport (about 5%; see table 22). There are only slight differences between types of ball sport for the risk for long-term disabilities. The risk in football seems to be slightly higher than in other team ball sports, but the difference is not significant (table/figure 28).
