At the 53rd Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in Denver, Colorado in 2006, we hosted a symposium on neurovascular injuries in the athlete. The presentations and conversations that occurred as part of that symposium confirmed the challenges that sports medicine practitioners face when diagnosing and treating athletes with suspected vascular, peripheral nerve, or nerve root injuries ranging from the commonly occurring ‘‘stingers’’ and ‘‘handlebar palsies’’ to the rare but emergent effort vein thrombosis.
