Patients With Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries Obtain Information Regarding Diagnosis, Management, and Recovery from Low-Quality Online Resources
CONCLUSION: Patients search the internet for information regarding diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of PCL injuries and are less interested in the details of the procedure, cost, and longevity of treatment. The low JAMA score reflects the heterogenous quality and transparency of online information. Physicians can use this information to help guide patient expectations pre- and post-operatively.PMID:38651524 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2346462 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Muscle pain code: a novel tool for screening the risk of time-loss muscle injury in professional male football players
CONCLUSIONS: Players experiencing well-outlined pain area on the second post-match day were more likely to incur a time-loss muscle injury in the subsequent days compared to those experiencing spreading pain or no pain.PMID:38651766 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2346463 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Comparing return to play protocols after sports-related concussion among international sporting organisations
CONCLUSION: To improve the safety of athletes after a head injury, sporting organizations should develop sport-specific guidelines according to the latest CISG consensus statement, and this should be updated regularly. Implementation is especially important in combat sports, where there is a high incidence of head injury. Thus, there is a requirement for the most up-to-date concussion management protocols in these sports.PMID:38646724 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2344432 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Variables associated with days of school missed following concussion: results from the Sport Concussion Outcomes in PEdiatrics (SCOPE) study
CONCLUSIONS: Children and adolescents reported missing a median of 2 days of school following concussion, and more missed school time after a concussion was associated with more severe concussion symptoms and perception of grades dropping. These findings may support recommendations for minimal delays in return-to-learn after concussion.PMID:38648009 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2344435 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Risk factors associated with a history of iliotibial band syndrome (hITBS) in distance runners: a cross-sectional study in 76 654 race entrants - a SAFER XXXIII study
CONCLUSION: Apart from female sex, younger age, fewer years of running and slower running speed, two novel independent risk factors associated with hITBS in distance runners are an increased number of chronic diseases and a history of allergies. Identifying athletes at higher risk for ITBS can guide healthcare professionals in their prevention and rehabilitation efforts.PMID:38618688 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2341607 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)

Social deprivation index affects time to MRI after knee injury in pediatric patients and is predicted by patient demographics
CONCLUSION: Increased SDI is independently associated with longer time from clinic visit to knee MRI order and longer time from clinic visit to knee MRI completion in our pediatric population. Recognizing potential barriers to orthopedic care can help create the change necessary to provide the best possible care for all individual patients.PMID:38618689 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2342235 (Source: The Physician and Sportsmedicine Online)
