A member asked:
What are the most common thoracic injuries and abdominal injuries/conditions in sports?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sport & Spine: Sport injuries to the thoracic spine are rare, but can include muscle strains and sprains; hematoma (bleeding in the muscle from blunt trauma), or fractures of spinous- or transverse processes, or, less likely, a thoracic compression fracture with rib injuries right next to it. Abdominally, blunt spleen- or liver injury can happen, and intra-abdominal bleeking, but that's rare... Be careful!

Depends on the sport: For contact sports: rib trauma/splenic rupture, for others muscle strain/hernia.
