Clinical Cases

A thorough understanding of different clinical scenarios is essential to appreciate how advanced imaging can guide prevention and early intervention in athletes. In this section, we present real-world examples illustrating the evolution of the main padel-related conditions, highlighting the relationship between technical gestures, functional overload and abnormalities detectable on magnetic resonance imaging.
