Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence of orthopedic injuries which occurred during a professional soccer championship in São Paulo, Brazil in 2010. METHODS: This assessment collected data from the pre-season until the final stage of the championship. RESULTS: We analyzed 227 professional players from eight of the top teams in this championship. Data were obtained for 71.02% of all games. The athletes were all male with a mean age of 23.1 years; the average number of injuries was 1.6 per athlete, with muscle injuries and sprains resulting from indirect origin predominating in the legs. CONCLUSION: Injuries were more frequent in forwards and outside backs, and players generally returned to play within one week of treatment.
