Sports injuries are traumatic in nature. They affect the entire nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system. These injuries range from injuries to the brain itself in the form of skull fractures, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, intracerebral hematoma as well as concussion and contusions. These injuries must be diagnosed and treated very quickly to prevent loss of life or limb.
Injuries to the spine especially to the cervical spine can be dangerous and can cause paralysis. The injury to the rest of the spinal area can also cause severe damage and must be treated with diagnostic technologies available to neurosurgeons as well as spinal surgeons
