Abstract:The spine, in athletes is a relatively frequent origin of problems. Chronic spine problems are much more common compared to acute injuries. Chronic injuries to the spine most often occur in low-contact sports like gymnastics and are most commonly the result of overuse. Acute injuries are more common in high-speed and full contact sports and are traumatic in origin. Injuries to the spinal cord can be devastating but are fortunately very uncommon. Although imaging of the spine appears to be straightforward, any … Show more
“…Second, a comparison with other imaging exams was not performed. In this regard, MRI is considered the ''gold standard'' modality for spine visualization [8] because of its excellent tissue resolution and superior visualization of intervertebral discs [26]. Third, the US was not performed immediately in acute cases.…”

“…Moreover, the pain may depend on conditions directly affecting the neck musculature, such as postural disorders (also work related), fibromyalgia, and/or polymyalgia rheumatica [6]. In the clinical practice, diagnosis is usually based on clinical examination and plain X-ray, whereas computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are costly and time-consuming, are reserved for specific conditions when a major damage is suspected or when the functional recovery is delayed or unsatisfactory [7,8]. Ultrasonography (US) could be an attractive adjuvant method in the investigation of some cervical pathologies because of the broad availability and affordability of the equipment [9].…”
Ultrasound examination can be used as diagnostic tool in the evaluation of selected patients suffering from localized cervical pain, particularly in cases of pain due to traumatic injuries.

“…8 showed the consequence presented three clusters which consisted of "segmentation", "area", and "neural network". Spine, as the axial skeleton, can be divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral parts, and meanwhile, each part constitutes of vertebrae, disc and related level of spine cord [33]. Precise segmentation and anatomical identi cation of the spine provides the basis for automatic analysis of the spine [34].…”
As the cognition of spine develops, deep learning (DL) presents a tremendous potential and function as an advantageous tool in this eld. In this study, bibliometrics and visual methods were adopted with a retrieval of Web of Science to provide a comprehensive overview of DL-spine research. VOSviewer and Citespace were primarily used for literature measurement and knowledge graph analysis. A total of 273 studies was retrieved focusing on DL in spine with a sum of 2407 citations, and the global total number of articles published showed a continuous increasing trend. China was the country with the largest number of publications, while USA was the country with the most citation. The top 2 journals were "European spine journal" and "Medical image analysis", and the most involved research area was Radiology Nuclear Medicine Medical Imaging. VOSviewer visually presented three clusters into "segmentation", "area", and "neural network". And CiteSpace indicated the keywords with the longest use were "magnetic resonance image" and "lumbar", while "agreement" and "automated detection" were the most popular keywords. The stage of DL-spine research is still in its infancy and its future is bright. Intercontinental cooperation, extensive application and more interpretable algorithms will exert more vitality in this eld.
“…The repetition of stressful movements, which alternatively stress the spine in flexion and in extension, leads successively to traction and compression forces at the level of the articular apophyses which is a risk factor for isthmic lysis and spondylolisthesis (Adams, 2004;De Jonge & Kramer, 2014;Kruse & Lemmen, 2009). In addition, forces are transmitted through vertebral bodies thanks to intervertebral discs (IVDs), which evenly distribute the forces on the vertebral bodies (Adams, 2004).…”

“…But the repetition of compression forces can lead to micro-fractures, mostly at vertebral endplates or even to fractures (Adams, 2004) and shear forces within IVDs may also result in progressive IVD degeneration (De Jonge & Kramer, 2014;Kruse & Lemmen, 2009;Xia et al, 2015).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
