Fascial tissue research in sports medicine: from molecules to tissue adaptation, injury and diagnostics.
Abstract The fascial system builds a three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose and dense fibrous connective tissue that permeates the body and enables all body systems to operate in an integrated manner. Injuries to the fascial system cause a significant loss of performance in recreational exercise as well as high-performance sports, and could have a potential role in the development and perpetuation of musculoskeletal disorders, including lower back pain. Fascial tissues deserve more detailed attention in the field of sports medicine. A better understanding of their adaptation dynamics to me...

Athletes and the arts - the role of sports medicine in the performing arts.
Abstract Performing artists are athletes. Like athletes, performing artists practice and/or perform most days with little off season, play through pain, "compete" in challenging environments, and risk career-threatening injury. Athletes and the Arts is a multiorganizational initiative linking the sport athlete and musician/performing artist communities. Performing artists of all ages and genre are an underserved population related to medical coverage, care, injury prevention, performance enhancement, and wellness. Sports medicine professionals are a valuable resource for filling this gap by applying existing knowl...

Pediatric Sports Injuries: A Comparison of Males Versus Females
Conclusion: Sports injuries in young males and females differed by injury type, diagnosis, and body area. These results may be related to the referral patterns unique to the division of the hospital, including a high number of female dancers. Further investigation is required to better understand the injury risk in pediatric male and female athletes.

Neural representations and the cortical body matrix: implications for sports medicine and future directions.
Abstract Neural representations, or neurotags, refer to the idea that networks of brain cells, distributed across multiple brain areas, work in synergy to produce outputs. The brain can be considered then, a complex array of neurotags, each influencing and being influenced by each other. The output of some neurotags act on other systems, for example, movement, or on consciousness, for example, pain. This concept of neurotags has sparked a new body of research into pain and rehabilitation. We draw on this research and the concept of a cortical body matrix-a network of representations that subserves the regulation a...

Autologous blood derived signaling proteins (sp) for tendon and muscle therapy in sports medicine. Higher concentration of growth factors (gf) and cytokines in orthokine vs in acp.
Discussion: Oe and Ax are used clinically. Degranulating platelets and other blood cells contribute to blood borne GF and cytokine output. Oe gains from all blood cells. Ax gains from 85% platelets. Oe's high IL-1Ra and GFs explain its profound (anti-inflammatory) action [Wehling et al. Biodrugs 2007;21(5):323-332]. Ax is not PRP, provides less SP than Oe. Muscle and tendon repair with Oe has been shown [Heisterbach et al. KSSTA 2012;10:1907-14, Majewski et al. Am J Sports Med 2009;11:2117-25, Wright-Carpenter et al. Int J Sports Med 2004;25:582-587 & 588-593]. Oe and Ax are used in joint treatment also. Oe has 2 y eff...

Hip pain in young athletes: Q & A with a sports medicine specialist
When your child plays a sport, it’s often hard to tell where everyday aches and pains end and a potentially serious injury begins. Bumps and bruises are anything but rare in contact sports, and muscle soreness can be a common complaint for any young athlete — especially given the rigor of youth athletics these days. So how do you know when your child’s hip pain is due to an actual injury? Dr. Mininder Kocher, orthopedic surgeon and Associate Director of the Sports Medicine Division at Boston Children’s Hospital, helps answer parents’ questions about hip pain in young athletes. What are some of the more common h...

Highlights from the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine position statement on responsible use of regenerative medicine and orthobiologics in sports medicine
Musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis and chronic tendinopathies are leading causes of pain and disability worldwide. The emergence of novel regenerative therapies, referred to as orthobiologics, has led to promising interventions which may reduce pain and improve function. Orthobiologics are biological substances intended to enhance healing and alter the natural course of orthopaedic disease.1 2 Despite growing experience, the field remains under-researched with inconsistent evidence; yet increasing enthusiasm has permitted overexuberant, sometimes inappropriate use with proliferation of misinformation among...

Risk factors for groin/hip injuries in field-based sports: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: 11 significant risk factors for groin/hip injury for FBS players were identified. The most prominent risk factor identified was previous groin/hip injury. Future research should include a prospective study of a group of FBS players to confirm a relationship between the risk factors identified and development of groin/hip injuries.

Clinical Practice Patterns of Isthmic Spondylolysis in Young Athletes: A Survey of Pediatric Research in Sports Medicine Members
Curr Sports Med Rep. 2022 Nov 1;21(11):405-412. doi: 10.1249/JSR.0000000000001008.ABSTRACTIsthmic spondylolysis is a common cause of back pain in young athletes. The condition presents to numerous medical providers who employ a variety of different practices in diagnosis and management. The purpose of this study was twofold: to review the literature of diagnosis and management of the young athlete with isthmic spondylolysis and to survey Pediatric Research in Sports Medicine (PRiSM) members during the 2021 PRiSM Annual Meeting on practice patterns of diagnosis and management of the young athlete with isthmic spondylolysis....
