Head injuries in sports have received increased attention during the past decade. As explained in this article, the most recent guidelines for the management of head injuries in sports adopted by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) have been adapted for the Swedish sports society. The guidelines include a grading scale of head injuries in sports, a sideline evaluation to aid physicians, coaches and athletes in the acute situation, and a management strategy for safe return to play after a head injury. The use of these guidelines will facilitate appropriate acute and subacute management and thereby prevent repeated head injuries that could lead to potentially catastrophic outcome or long-term cognitive sequelae.
MRI has revolutionized the diagnostic yield in musculo-skeletal trauma. Studies have documented that MRI can be an accurate, cost-effective means of assessing injuries in the knee, the foot and the ankle, and it may also be cost-effective in other anatomic locations. MRI may have a significant impact on decision-making in relation to these patients and on the follow-up. The patient does not need to be moved for evaluation in all the anatomical planes. Each study can also be post-processed if necessary. MRI may be used in patients with fractures for evaluation of complications. The fracture lines as well as accompanying soft tissue damage are well documented.
