In the general population, fractures of the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae occur in cases of high-energy blunt trauma, often in motor vehicle accidents. Football players may incur the same fractures, but the circumstances and outcomes are different in this specific subgroup. A review of 29 cases among National Football League players reveals that associated visceral injuries are rare, and the time lost from sports is only an average of 3.5 weeks.
在普通人群中，腰椎横突骨折多发生于高能钝性创伤，常见于机动车事故。足球运动员也可能发生同样的骨折，但在这个特定亚组中，情况和结果有所不同。对美国国家橄榄球联盟球员中的29例病例进行回顾发现，相关内脏损伤很少见，因伤缺赛时间平均仅为3.5周。
