Back pain, tendons, Tiger Woods: all grist for the mill for sports medicine clinicians
Sports Doctors Australia is proud to be in its fourth year as one of BJSM's 23 member societies. This issue will touch a chord—pleasant or unpleasant—with most primary care practitioners. Clinicians are well aware of the inability to change the course of chronic low back pain in many people. When yet another patient comes in with persisting back pain, it may trigger a heart-sinking response or be seen as a challenge. Back pain—are we making progress? For a long time, we clinicians have tried to attack this problem through the reductionist model, believing that the more we understand about the cause of the...

The Role of Exercise in Treating Low Back Pain
The purpose of this review is to highlight the role of exercise in preventing and managing acute and chronic axial low back pain (LBP). LBP is one of the leading contributors to years lived with disability as well as health care expenditures in the United States. With an expected increase in prevalence due to an aging population, sports medicine providers have a unique opportunity to provide effective treatment strategies incorporating exercise advice and prescription. Although the majority of individuals with acute LBP will have their symptoms resolve spontaneously, almost 40% will have recurrence or develop chronic LBP w...

College athlete’s gruesome leg break sparks national conversation about injury prevention in young players
Kevin Ware- Picture from USA Today Last week, sports fans collectively gasped with sympathetic pain when Kevin Ware, a 20-year-old basketball player from the University of Louisville, suffered a devastating leg injury during a nationally televised NCAA tournament game. In an attempt to block an opponent’s shot, Ware leapt into the air and landed in such a way that shattered two bones in his leg—the tibia and fibula—just below his right knee. The tibia break was especially gruesome, with the bone not only breaking, but ripping through his skin and protruding outward. (An injury known as a compound fracture.) In a...

Is chronic groin pain a Bermuda triangle of sports medicine?
Authors: Šebečić B, Japjec M, Janković S, Vencel Čuljak, Dojčinović B, Starešinić M Abstract Chronic groin pain is one the most complex conditions encountered in the field of sports medicine. Conservative treatment is long lasting and the result of treatment is often uncer- tain and symptom recurrences are common, which can be very frustrating for both the patient and the physician. The complex etiology and uncertainties during treatment of chronic groin pain is the reason why some authors call it the Bermuda Triangle of sports medicine. In our prospective, 7-year study, 114 athletes with chronic groin pai...

After 9 surgeries, Emily walks down the aisle
Emily (Lagor) Monteiro, 25, wasn’t sure she’d be walking or dancing at her June 13 wedding. However, she achieved both—an accomplishment she credits to Drs. Pierre d’Hemecourt and Lyle Micheli, both from Boston Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine. “They’re my superheros.” It’s a bold statement for a young woman who admits to being terrified of anesthesia. But that fear helped solidify her relationship with Micheli. Prior to one of her surgeries, nurses couldn’t get Emily’s IV started. “I cried the whole way to the operating room. I was creating a scene. They finally got the IV in. The last thing I r...

“We never thought we’d run again.”
For five years Hope Prockop, a competitive women’s squash player, battled chronic foot pain, while her daughter Lyle struggled with excruciating back pain. “It was really stressful to cope with both conditions,” says Hope. “I wondered if I would ever reach my goals.” Mother and daughter found the care and support they needed at Boston Children’s Hospital, where a team of doctors got the pair running and helped Hope reach the pinnacle of her sport. She represented the U.S. on the Team USA national women’s squash team in 2006, 2008 and 2010 and won two U.S. Masters national titles and the Allam British Open 45+...

Hip Joint Pathology as a Leading Cause of Groin Pain in the Sporting Population: A 6-Year Review of 894 Cases
Conclusion: Chronic hip and groin pain is often associated with multiple clinical entities. Hip joint pathology is the most common clinical entity and is most likely to relate to femoroacetabular impingement, labral tears, and osteoarthritis. These pathologies seem to be associated with secondary breakdown of surrounding structures; however, underpinning mechanisms are unclear.

Sports hernias: experience in a sports medicine center
Conclusions Our series reflects the multidisciplinary approach performed in a sports medicine center in which patients are initially evaluated by orthopedic surgeons in order to discard the most common causes of “pubalgia”. “Sports hernias” are often associated with adductor muscle strains and other injuries of the groin allowing speculate that these respond to a common mechanism of production. We believe that, considering the difficulty to design randomized trials, only a high coincidence among the diagnostic and therapeutic instances can ensure a rational health care.

Effectiveness of progressive tendon-loading exercise therapy in patients with patellar tendinopathy: a randomised clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with PT, PTLE resulted in a significantly better clinical outcome after 24 weeks than EET. PTLE are superior to EET and are therefore recommended as initial conservative treatment for PT. PMID: 33219115 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Effects on Knee Swelling, Range of Motion and Pain using a Commercially Available Hot/Cold Contrast Device in a Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Setting
CONCLUSION: Contrast therapy utilizing the Hyperice X device demonstrated effectiveness in affecting pain reduction, swelling, and knee ROM. A commercially available device providing contrast therapy, may enhance outcomes in athletes after even a single treatment. In addition, the device was found to be easy to use, clinically practical, and demonstrated very high subjective patient satisfaction.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.PMID:35949385 | PMC:PMC9340843 | DOI:10.26603/001c.37367

Gait-training devices in the treatment of lower extremity injuries in sports medicine: current status and future prospects.
Authors: DeJong A, Hertel J Abstract INTRODUCTION: This review seeks to provide synthesized information on gait-training techniques and devices applied, in four of the most prevalent chronic lower extremity injuries seen in sports medicine. Areas Covered: Comprehensive searches were performed in CINAHL and PubMed databases in April 2018 to identify gait-training articles in Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI), Exercise-Related Lower Leg Pain (ERLLP), Patellofemoral Pain (PFP), and Anterior Cruciate Ligament with Reconstruction (ACLR) populations. An investigator reviewed the articles and extracted data including study ...

Use of artificial intelligence in sports medicine: a report of 5 fictional cases
ConclusionsAll chosen injuries and pathologies were either correctly diagnosed or at least tagged with the right advice of when it is urgent for seeking a medical specialist. However, the quality of AI-based results could presumably depend on the data-driven experience of these programs as well as on the understanding of their users. Further studies should compare existing AI programs and their diagnostic accuracy for medical injuries and pathologies.
