Abstract
Tennis is a sport characterized by high physical demands and complex biomechanical movements, leading to specific patterns of injuries. This article reviews the epidemiology, biomechanics, and radiologic features of injuries related to tennis, focusing on the musculoskeletal system (extremities, trunk, and spine). Injury mechanisms are closely linked to the dynamics of the kinetic chain and the repetitive motions intrinsic to the sport. Imaging techniques, such as radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, play a crucial role in evaluating acute and overuse injuries. Understanding tennis's technical and biomechanical aspects is essential for radiologists to make accurate diagnoses and assist the multidisciplinary team in guiding patient treatment for a safe return to the sport.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology is a review journal that is devoted to musculoskeletal and associated imaging techniques. The journal''s topical issues encompass a broad spectrum of radiological imaging including body MRI imaging, cross sectional radiology, ultrasound and biomechanics. The journal also covers advanced imaging techniques of metabolic bone disease and other areas like the foot and ankle, wrist, spine and other extremities.
The journal''s content is suitable for both the practicing radiologist as well as residents in training.
