Does sensitisation play a role in the pain of patients with chronic patellar tendinopathy?
Discussion Reduced mechanical pain thresholds or pinprick allodynia reflects the involvement of central sensitisation upon the myelinated (Ad-fibre) nociceptive input. From this explorative study, we conclude that sensitisation may play a prominent role in the pain experienced during and after sports activity, by patellar tendinopathy patients.

Patellofemoral pain: consensus statement from the 3rd International Patellofemoral Pain Research Retreat held in Vancouver, September 2013
Introduction Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is often seen in physically active individuals and may account for 25–40% of all knee problems seen in a sports injury clinic.1 2 Patellofemoral-related problems occur more frequently in women than in men.3 PFP is characterised by diffuse pain over the anterior aspect of the knee and aggravated by activities that increase patellofemoral joint (PFJ) compressive forces, such as squatting, ascending and descending stairs and prolonged sitting, as well as repetitive activities such as running. It, therefore, has a debilitating effect on sufferers’ daily lives by reducing their...

Are Multiple Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections Useful for Treatment of Chronic Patellar Tendinopathy in Athletes?: A Prospective Study
Conclusion: In this study, application of 3 consecutive US-guided PRP injections significantly improved symptoms and function in athletes with chronic PT and allowed fast recovery to their presymptom sporting level. The PRP treatment permitted a return to a normal architecture of the tendon as assessed by MRI.

Update: Soccer Injury and Prevention, Concussion, and Chronic Groin Pain
Soccer, or football, as it is known in much of the world, is one of the most popular sports in the world. The purpose of this article was to provide a concise update on select soccer-specific medical issues published in the last year as they relate to soccer injury and prevention, concussions, and chronic groin pain. Both the Fédération Internationale de Football Association and the Union of European Football Associations published data from their longstanding injury tracking systems, providing foundation for further research. Concussion research continues to drive much interest, especially as it relates to heading and t...

Effects of 6 Weeks of Balance Training on Chronic Ankle Instability in Athletes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of a 6-week balance training program on patients with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) in relation to the results obtained in Dynamic Balance, subjective feeling of instability and pain using a single-blind randomized controlled trial. 70 athletes were randomly assigned to control or intervention group. The control group performed their usual training, and the intervention group was administered the same usual activity in addition to a balance program. The paired t-test was performed to evaluate the change scores in each group. The t-test for independent ...

New Meniscus Implant Aims To Treat Knee Pain For Younger Patients
BOSTON (CBS) — Americans of all ages suffer from chronic knee pain due to meniscus injuries.  Most are too young to have replacement surgery, but there aren’t a lot of other options.  Dr. Mallika Marshall introduces us to one of the first patients in the nation to undergo a meniscus implant. “I couldn’t get up the hill,” says 44 year old Jim DiRico of Derry, New Hampshire.  “I had to stand and watch my two children climb a little bit of a hill that we have.  Being a dad I wanted to be involved.” But Jim couldn’t be involved because of severe pain in his right knee from a worn meniscus.  The...

Systematic review hacks for the sports and exercise clinician: five essential methodological elements
Karen is a keen middle-aged tennis player who presents at your busy practice after her family physician told her she has chronic lateral elbow tendinopathy. Karen is anxious to be back playing at her best for a big regional tournament in 6-weeks time. She has consulted with Dr Google and read about a promising treatment called ‘PRP’ (platelet-rich plasma). She asks you what you know about this treatment and whether you think it could help her get back on court. You recall an abstract you scanned some months ago; patients who received PRP injections for chronic lateral epicondylitis (sic) had less pain at 6 ...

Ultrasound-Guided Injection Therapy of Achilles Tendinopathy With Platelet-Rich Plasma or Saline: A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Conclusion: PRP injection did not result in an improved VISA-A score over a 3-month period in patients with chronic AT compared with placebo. The only secondary outcome demonstrating a statistically significant difference between the groups was change in tendon thickness; this difference indicates that a PRP injection could increase tendon thickness compared with saline injection. The conclusions are limited to the 3 months after treatment owing to the large dropout rate.

No Effects of Early Viscosupplementation After Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: Early postoperative viscosupplementation did not provide significant clinical benefits after arthroscopic meniscectomy. Despite the lack of major adverse events, the administration of a single HA injection at the end of the surgical procedure is not a successful strategy to provide either faster functional recovery or symptomatic improvement after meniscectomy. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02629380.

Athletic groin pain (part 2): a prospective cohort study on the biomechanical evaluation of change of direction identifies three clusters of movement patterns
Conclusions We identified three distinct movement strategies among athletes with long-standing groin pain during a maximum effort change-of-direction task These movement strategies were not related to clinical assessment findings but highlighted targets for rehabilitation in response to possible propagative mechanisms. Trial registration number NCT02437942, pre results.
