abstract="Head and cervical spine sports-related injuries  are intimately associated. The on-field evaluation and management of the athlete  with these injuries is of paramount importance to stabilize the athlete and  prevent further injury. Clinicians need to be aware of the differential  diagnoses and consider each possibility based on the mechanism of injury.  Although recognition of head and cervical spine injuries has resulted in  significant reductions of catastrophic neurological injuries, especially in the  cervical spine, further advances to decrease the incidence and long-term  sequelae of head and neck injuries are needed. The first step is education of  the athlete and the individuals involved in the care of that  athlete.",
