title: Head and neck injuries in young athletes: thorough return-to-play examinations are necessary.
abstract: Catastrophic head and neck injuries in athletes will always be a great concern in our society. The unpredictability of sports, which gives them the competitiveness that we love, will always make it extremely difficult to eliminate these injuries completely. Medical personal and sports officials need to attack this problem through improved safety equipment and rule changes.
