BACKGROUND Several risk factors for the postoperative recurrence of instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair have been reported, but there have been few detailed investigations of the specific risk factors in relation to the type of sport. PURPOSE This study investigated the postoperative recurrence of instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair without additional reinforcement procedu...

Renal injury can occur during sports activity. Although it is, generally, associated with contact trauma, it is known that the renal injury can be developed during training without a direct trauma. The diagnosis of renal injuries should not be based solely on urine analysis. Computed tomography scan is necessary diagnose possible renal injuries.

Contact between rubber-soled shoes and indoor sports surfaces commonly results in brief, high-pitched “squeaks” (Fig. 1). The classical Amontons-Coulomb friction paradigm assumed by most slip-resistance research does not accommodate vibration or sound generation. Consequently, an examination of this phenomenon offers the possibility of novel insights into the mechanics of shoe-surface interaction.

Although traditional recommendations for mononephric childhood cancer survivors are to avoid contact sports in order to protect the remaining kidney, review of available evidence suggests that the majority of renal loss is caused by accidents not involving sports. An interdisciplinary team performed a review of the English literature published from 1999 to 2012 within the PubMed, Cochrane, Goog...

Many patients prioritize the ability to return to sports following shoulder replacement surgeries, including total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), and hemiarthroplasty (HA). While activity levels after hip and knee replacements have been well-established in the literature, studies on this topic in the field of shoulder arthroplasty are relatively limited...

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) affects a significant portion of athletes in contact sports but is difficult to quantify using clinical examinations and modeling approaches. We use an sil...

Our goal was to present current data on the incidence of clavicle injuries presenting for urgent evaluation and to report the sports activities associated with injury. Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database, the number of clavicle fractures presenting to a representative sample of U.S. hospitals was retrospectively calculated and weighted estimates used to ext...

We aim to determine the influence of sports floorings and sports shoes on impact mechanics and performance during standardised jump tasks. Twenty-one male volunteers performed ankle jumps (four consecutive maximal bounds with very dynamic ankle movements) and multi-jumps (two consecutive maximal counter-movement jumps) on force plates using minimalist and cushioned shoes under 5 sports flooring...

BACKGROUND The participation of children and adolescents in sports is becoming increasingly common, and this increased involvement raises concerns about the occurrence of sports injuries. OBJECTIVES To characterize the sports injuries and verify the associated factors with injuries in children and adolescents. METHOD Retrospective, epidemiological study. One thousand three hundred and eleve...
