Surfer's [[myelopathy]], Surfer's myelopathy is a atraumatic thoracic/conus medullaris myelopathy with only a 42% neurological recovery rate, almost uniformly affecting young, healthy, novice surfers who have no pre-existent spinal disease. Symptoms usually start with back pain and rapidly progress to complete or incomplete myelopathy. Emergency physicians must be better informed about surfer's myelopathy.

Surfer's myelopathy, Surfer's myelopathy is a atraumatic thoracic/conus medullaris myelopathy with only a 42% neurological recovery rate, almost uniformly affecting young, healthy, novice surfers who have no pre-existent spinal disease. Symptoms usually start with back pain and rapidly progress to complete or incomplete myelopathy. Emergency physicians must be better informed about surfer's myelopathy. Novice surfers and instructors should be educated on the early signs and symptoms of this condition.[1]
Vertebrae injury or fracture An retrospective analysis of surfer's in Australia finding a rate of .5% and .3% of afore mentioned injury[2] A multitude of different injuries occur in the cervical spine and depend on the position the surfer is in when they strike the sea floor relative to the force vector of the wave. Flexion, extension, axial load, rotation, and a variety of different combinations may result in fractures, dislocations, or spinal cord injuries (predominantly contusions).[3] Make sure to include in subjective examination recent trauma.
