Examination revealed a T8 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade A complete SCI. Methylprednisolone and hypothermia protocols were initiated. Computed tomography scan of the thoracic spine demonstrated T8 and T9 facet fractures on the left at the apex of a 42\u00b0 idiopathic scoliotic deformity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated T2 spinal cord hyperintensity at T9. He regained trace movement of his right lower extremity over 12 hours, which was absent on posttrauma day 2. Repeat MRI revealed interval cord compression and worsening of T2 signal change at T7-T8 secondary to hematoma. Urgent decompression and fusion from T8 to T10 were performed. Additional treatment included high-dose omega-3 fatty acids and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A 2-month inpatient spinal cord rehabilitation program was followed by prolonged outpatient physical therapy. He currently can run and jump with minimal residual distal left lower limb spasticity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first known football-related thoracic SCI with idiopathic scoliosis.
