Stem cells, angiogenesis and muscle healing: a potential role in massage therapies?
Skeletal muscle injuries are among the most common and frequently disabling injuries sustained by athletes. Repair of injured skeletal muscle is an area that continues to present a challenge for sports medicine clinicians and researchers due, in part, to complete muscle recovery being compromised by development of fibrosis leading to loss of function and susceptibility to re-injury. Injured skeletal muscle goes through a series of coordinated and interrelated phases of healing including degeneration, inflammation, regeneration and fibrosis. Muscle regeneration initiated shortly after injury can be limited by fibrosis which...

Sports Injuries: Diagnosis, Prevention, Stem Cell Therapy, and Medical Sport Strategy.
Authors: Rahim S, Rahim F, Shirbandi K, Haghighi BB, Arjmand B Abstract Sports injuries diagnosis, prevention, and treatment are the most important issues of sports medicine. Fortunately, sports injuries are often treated effectively, and people with damage recover and return to the sport in a satisfactory condition. Meanwhile, many sports injuries and complications can be prevented. In general, sports injuries include acute or chronic injuries. Given increasing in popularity, sports medicine doctors use stem cells to treat a wide variety of sports injuries, including damage to tendons, ligaments, muscles, and cart...

First-of-its-kind knee surgery gets Ashley in the swing
Sixteen-year-old Ashley Meyer never planned to golf. At age 5, she had a different plan. She wanted to cheer — and to be the best cheerleader. Ashley never planned to be a Red Sox fan either. But during baseball season, the Philadelphia native shuns Phillies wear, donning Red Sox garb instead. And when basketball season rolls around, she’s often sporting Celtics’ green rather than 76ers’ blue. We knew right away. Ashley turned to me and said, ‘Mom, he’s the one who will fix me.’ “We call her the Philly traitor,” jokes Ashley’s mom Loreen, a nurse at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadel...

Outcomes of an Open Autologous Osteochondral Plug Graft for Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans: Time to Return to Sports
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that an open autologous osteochondral plug graft allows a return to the previous competitive level of throwing by a mean of 7 months postoperatively.

High Rates of Return to Sports Activities and Work After Osteotomies Around the Knee: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionEight out  of ten patients returned to sport and work after knee osteotomy. No data were available on time to RTS. A trend toward performing lower-impact sports was observed. Time to RTW varied from 10 to 22 weeks, and almost all patients returned to the same or a higher workload.

Middle-to long-term outcome after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with Insall’s proximal realignment for patellar instability
ConclusionMiddle- to long-term outcome after MPFL reconstruction with Insall’s proximal realignment at our institution was evaluated, and good clinical results were observed. Most patients who did not have a severe cartilage lesion preoperatively did not develop osteoarthritic change.

Is that possible to restore pre-injury physical activity level after one-stage articular cartilage and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that intact articular cartilage during ACL reconstruction gives more favourable IKDC subjective scores compared to any other articular cartilage surgery types. However, if you have an articular defect, there are significantly better subjective IKDC scores for OAT versus microfracture or debridement after a mean period of 3 years. Anterior knee stability results were not significantly affected by the different articular cartilage treatment methods. PMID: 23757676 [PubMed - in process]

Return to an Athletic Lifestyle After Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Knee
Conclusion: Osteochondral allograft transplantation for the treatment of large chondral defects in the knee met with disappointing results in an active-duty population and was even less reliable in returning this population to preinjury sport levels. Branch of service and occupational type predicted the return to duty, but other traditional predictors of outcome such as rank and years of service did not. The presence of concomitant procedures did not have an effect on outcome with respect to activity or sport level with the numbers available for analysis.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Knee in the Pediatric and Adolescent Population
Conclusion: With 88% good/excellent results and 80% salvage rate of clinical failures with an additional allograft, osteochondral allograft transplantation is a useful treatment option in pediatric and adolescent patients.

Solid organ transplant recipients: clinical considerations in the application of exercise.
Abstract Over 100 000 solid organ transplants are performed worldwide each year and this has a significant impact on physical function and quality of life. However, the capacity for exercise in solid-organ recipients is reduced. Regular physical activity improves most of the indices of fitness in these patients but, with few exceptions, they do not reach the values seen in healthy controls. The reason for the 40-60% reduction in maximal exercise capacity is not clear; the disease process, need for life long immunosuppression and sedentary lifestyle all contribute. The interaction between exercise and immunosuppr...

Arthroscopic Articular Reconstruction of Capitellar Osteochondral Defects
Conclusion: Adequate recipient tunnels were created in lesions that were as high as 75° to 80° anterior to the humeral shaft, which encompasses most clinically relevant lesions. Moreover, increasing the anterior position of the lesion did not compromise the ability to generate perpendicular tunnels. The findings of this cadaveric study suggest that most clinically relevant capitellar osteochondral lesions can be successfully resurfaced arthroscopically. Clinical Relevance: This study demonstrates the feasibility of performing an arthroscopic versus open articular reconstruction when indicated for high-grade capite...

Meniscal Allograft Transplantation: State of the Art
Meniscal allograft transplantation has evolved over the years to provide a state-of-the-art technique for the sports medicine surgeon to utilize in preserving contact mechanics and function of the knee in irreparable meniscal pathology. However, this procedure continues to spark considerable debate on proper tissue processing techniques, acceptable indications, methods of implantation, and potential long-term outcomes.
