“…Despite the report of several case series of traumatic cervical hernias that develop neurological clinical data or that are diagnosed incidentally, these are mostly associated with vertebral fractures or facet dislocations, which alert us to make an early diagnosis with imaging studies; 5,6 however the presence of myelopathic spinal cord injury late, secondary to an isolated traumatic cervical hernia, is difficult to diagnose and only a few cases are reported in the literature with these characteristics similar to ours. [7][8][9] Suspecting a cervical neurological injury leads us to the taking of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging that gives diagnostic precision in case of a traumatic hernia, at the same time we can predict the degree of injury, prognosis and urgency in the treatment, 4,10 so it is essential to perform it for surgical decision making and the type of decompression either discectomy anterior or posterior with arthrodesis, which so far is a management alternative that has positive results in the short and long term.…”

INTRODUCTIONCervical traumatic hernias without bone injury or dislocation, are a relatively rare pathology occur in 1.45% of cases of cervical trauma, most cases are diagnosed early by the mechanism suggested by the type of lesion or signs and symptoms of acute neurological alterations. 1 Additionally, cervical neurological injury has also been related to facial trauma, this association occurs in 0.01-3%. With a higher incidence in car accidents involving cyclists, when facial fractures occur, the risk of having a hidden cervical injury increase, the mechanism of trauma and cervical imaging should be carefully evaluated for early diagnosis. 2,3

“…The main reason for this is that the players constantly collide while practicing this sport. In addition, gym preparation for this sport includes weightlifting, which can overload participants' discs; with time, these discs can wear out, resulting in a disc rupture [6]. Disc rupture can be affected by spine anomalies, for example, the traumatic ones caused by head collisions [7].…”

Traumatic cervical pathology is an injury that emerges due to trauma or being subjected to constant impact loading, affecting the ligaments, muscles, bones, and spinal cord. In contact sports (the practice of American football, karate, boxing, and motor sports, among others), the reporting of this type of injury is very common. Therefore, it is imperative to have preventive measures so players do not suffer from such injuries, since bad practices or accidents can put their lives at risk. This research evaluated cervical and skull biomechanical responses during a frontal impact, taking into consideration injury caused by wear on the intervertebral disc. Intervertebral disc wear is a degenerative condition that affects human mobility; it is common in people who practice contact sports and it can influence the response of the cervical system to an impact load. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the effects caused by impact loading and strains generated throughout the bone structure (composed of the skull and the cervical spine). The numerical evaluation was developed using the finite element method and the construction of the biomodel from computational axial tomography. In addition, the numerical simulation allowed us to observe how the intervertebral disc’s wear affected the cervical region’s biomechanical response. In addition, a comparison could be made between a healthy system and a disc that had suffered wear. Finally, the analysis provided information valuable to understanding how an impact, force-related injury can be affected and enabled us to propose better physiotherapeutic procedures.
