EPIDEMIOLOGY of NECK INJURIES ACCOMPANYING SPORT CONCUSSIONS in YOUTH OVER a 13-YEAR PERIOD IN a COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

Background: The same trauma that produces concussion may also produce neck injury. The signs of concussion and neck injury are similar, and symptoms after acceleration-deceleration trauma to the head-neck complex do not accurately discriminate between them. Research on the epidemiology of neck injury among sport-concussed youth is sparse.

First rib fracture of unknown etiology: a case report.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the case of a patient with a first rib fracture discovered with advanced imaging once the patient did not respond to an initial course of care.

Clinical Features: A 24-year-old otherwise healthy male electrician had medial scapular, upper thoracic, and sternal pain while using a power drill in the overhead position.

Intervention And Outcome: An initial trial of treatments consisting of spinal manipulation and modalities failed to alleviate the patient's symptoms.
