Among participating fellows (88/352), 72.7% indicated that their fellowship program followed a formalized sports ultrasound curriculum. Most fellows (64.8% to 98.9%) reported a high degree of confidence for ultrasound basics, while ratings for complete regional diagnostic ultrasound scans were more heterogeneous. Time spent in a clinical setting was associated with higher confidence ratings in 6/7 ultrasound basics categories. Time spent on practical, hands-on instruction and self-directed, independent learning revealed significant associations with confidence ratings for diagnostic ultrasound scans. The findings of this study provide an understanding for several aspects of sports ultrasound training during fellowship and may provide information to help programs optimize training when developing curricula.</p>","PeriodicalId":10922,"journal":{"name":"Current sports medicine reports","volume":"24 7","pages":"214-218"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144590643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The knee is most commonly affected, and risk for PTOA increases substantially following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

The purpose of this review is to synthesize the literature on blood biomarkers related to inflammation and cartilage turnover in association with the development of PTOA following an ACL injury. Of the eight identified studies, the majority, 75%, were cohort based (n = 6). The collective findings suggest potential value in blood biomarkers for evaluating the systemic changes after ACL injury. However, current evidence for the clinical utility of these markers to identify individuals after ACL injury who will develop PTOA is inconclusive.

Wearables have good performance in detecting sleep but have greater difficulty in discerning between quiet wakefulness and early stages of sleep. The use of summative scores in consumer wearables is opaque, which should make sports medicine providers skeptical of their clinical utility. There is ample opportunity for wearables to be clinically useful and research opportunities to better explore the bidirectional relationship between daytime athletic performance and sleep.</p>","PeriodicalId":10922,"journal":{"name":"Current sports medicine reports","volume":"24 6","pages":"171-176"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144233474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
