Clinical significance of ST depression at exercise stress testing in competitive athletes: usefulness of coronary CT during screening.
CONCLUSIONS: In competitive athletes even with excellent workload capacities, in absence of cardiomyopathy, the presence of ischaemic electrocardiographic abnormalities could be mainly determined by a coronary congenital or acquired pathology. In this population CCTA is an useful imaging modality of choice for the risk stratification and for the diagnostic process, to allow eligible athletes to compete and to follow up subjects requiring medical surveillance.

The Relationship of the Femoral Physis and the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament in Children: A Cadaveric Study
Conclusion: The relationship of the femoral attachment of the MPFL and the medial femoral physis shows some anatomic variation. In all cases, the MPFL is close to the medial femoral physis, but the midpoint of the MPFL is at, slightly above, or slightly below the physis. Clinical Relevance: The relationship of the MPFL femoral attachment footprint to the femoral physis in the skeletally immature patient is not well understood, and access to pediatric cadaveric tissue is very limited. This small series demonstrates that there is considerable variation in the relationship between the MPFL and distal femoral physis. This ana...

Ionising radiation: three game-changing studies for imaging in sports medicine
It has been known for several years that there could be some cancer risk for young people from low-dose ionising radiation. With respect to diagnostic imaging, examinations such as nuclear medicine bone scans, CT, fluoroscopy and x-rays are all associated with exposure to ionising radiation.1 In 2001, Brenner et al2 found that there was a significant increase in lifetime cancer risk attributable to radiation from paediatric CT scans relative to adult CT scans. The Image Gently Campaign by the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Paediatric Imaging has aimed to raise public awareness of ‘opportunities to promote radiation...

Sports-Related Concussions in Children: Differences in Care and Expectations When Seen in an Emergency Department Versus a Sports Medicine Clinic
Conclusions Patients and parents who presented to a pediatric ED for sports-related head injury had a trend toward higher expectations of a CT scan being necessary to diagnose concussion and did have a higher rate of CT scans performed. Education of athletes and parents engaging in organized sports may be worthwhile to assist in setting expectations in diagnosis of concussion.

Effects of Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on Return to Sports After Arthroscopic Debridement and Microfracture of Osteochondral Talar Defects: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Trial
Conclusion: PEMF does not lead to a higher percentage of patients who resume sports or to earlier resumption of sports after arthroscopic debridement and microfracture of talar OCDs. Furthermore, no differences were found in bone repair between groups. Registration: Netherlands Trial Register NTR1636.

Relationship Between Glenoid Defects and Hill-Sachs Lesions in Shoulders With Traumatic Anterior Instability
Conclusion: The prevalence of bipolar lesions was approximately 60%. As glenoid defects became larger, Hill-Sachs lesions also enlarged, but there was no strong correlation. Bipolar lesions were frequent in patients with recurrent instability, patients with repetitive dislocation/subluxation, and those playing collision/contact sports. Instability showed a high recurrence rate in shoulders with bipolar lesions.

Conservative management of isolated medial subtalar joint dislocations in volleyball players: a report of three cases and literature review.
This report describes 3 cases of isolated, closed medial SD, which occurred during non- professional volleyball activities. All cases were successfully treated by the same conservative method: standard radiographs for diagnosis, closed reduction, subsequent CT scan to exclude associated lesions, 4-week immobilization in a below-knee cast and an early physiokinesis therapy program. Further, a review of the recent literature concerning SD was performed. The standard method applied allowed our patients to return to full sports activity at 3 months from trauma, reaching a medium AOFAS score of 96.6 at minimum follow-up of 48 m...

Stroke in a Young Swimmer
Conclusions: Important differential diagnoses of cervicocephalic arterial dissection include other vascular or neurological causes of head and neck pain and/or local neurological syndromes and other causes of brain ischemia such as cardiac emboli, atherosclerosis, and vasculopathy of brain vessels. It is important that sports medicine practitioners pay attention to this less-diagnosed cause of stroke in young athletes.,Introduction: Arterial dissections are important causes of stroke in the young population. Dissection has been reported in association with some sports. It seems that this report is among the first ones of t...

Femoroacetabular Impingement Is Associated With Sports-Related Posterior Hip Instability in Adolescents: A Matched-Cohort Study
Conclusion: A significantly higher mean alpha angle from the superior to the anterior-superior regions of the femoral head-neck junction and lower acetabular version were found in adolescents who sustained low-energy, sports-related posterior hip dislocations.

Radiological evaluation and investigation with x-ray ct and MRI findings in patients with spinal trauma during professional and amateur sport activities.
CONCLUSIONS: The MRI investigation was very helpful to find four sclerotic post traumatic bone changes and one medullary transection. Further studies were warranted but the combination of CT and MRI is is very useful tool for the evaluation, for the therapeutic approach and for the final result in patients with spinal trauma.

Are Olympic athletes free from cardiovascular diseases? Systematic investigation in 2352 participants from Athens 2004 to Sochi 2014.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed an unexpected prevalence of CV abnormalities among Olympic athletes, including a small, but not negligible proportion of pathological conditions at risk. This observation suggests that Olympic athletes, despite the absence of symptoms or astonishing performances, are not immune from CV disorders and might be exposed to unforeseen high-risk during sport activity.

Biologic reactions at acl graft insertion sites measured by 99mtc-hdp-spect/ct tracer uptake.
CONCLUSIONS: SPECT/CT tracer uptake intensity and distribution showed a significant correlation with the femoral and tibial tunnel position and orientation in patients with symptomatic knees after ACL reconstruction. No correlation was found with stability or clinical laxity. SPECT/CT tracer uptake distribution has the potential to give us important information on joint homeostasis and remodeling after ACL reconstruction. It might help to improve our surgical ACL reconstruction technique by directing us to find the optimal tunnel position based on the results of biological activity with the achievement of joint homeostasis...
