These injuries are seen in rowing, baseball, swimming, golf, weightlifting, and other throwing sports. Similar to BSI at other anatomical locations, a rib BSI often results from multiple factors including both thoracic/upper extremity biomechanics and metabolic factors affecting bone health. Although some rib BSIs are easier to detect, other injuries may present with vague rib or shoulder pain that can be misdiagnosed and result in delayed management. Our narrative review describes biomechanical and other health factors that contribute to a rib BSI. We describe an approach to evaluation including diagnostic imaging and management strategies to guide return to sport. This includes discussion of prevention/mitigation of underlying modifiable factors, including training load monitoring, addressing biomechanical factors, and correction of nutritional/hormonal deficiencies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10922,"journal":{"name":"Current sports medicine reports","volume":"24 6","pages":"153-163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144233480","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}

We identified 29 eligible articles for vibration therapy, 31 eligible articles for compression garments, and 25 eligible articles for massage. Our review revealed varying degrees of support for each of the recovery modalities. However, our review also highlighted a need for standardized protocols in future studies to better understand how the modalities help athletes recover as to define optimal duration and frequency for maximal effects. Overall, all modalities reviewed seem safe to use and likely would not hinder sports performance or prolong recovery.

Thus, a new sports medicine subspecialty is proposed: Gymnastics Medicine. Gymnastics injury rates are higher compared to other sports. Common injuries occurring in gymnastics include gymnast wrist, grip lock, osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow, knee, and ankle, shoulder overuse injuries, mechanical low back pain, spondylolysis, pelvic apophysitis, anterior cruciate ligament tears, ankle instability/ankle sprains, symptomatic accessory navicular, os trigonum/posterior ankle impingement, and calcaneal apophysitis. Gymnastics Medicine will help medical clinicians understand injury patterns, return to play protocols, nutritional needs, and the mental aspects of gymnastics. Gymnastics Medicine is a needed subspecialty. There are many medical subspecialties involved with the care of gymnasts who would benefit from a concentrated field, and this field allows those clinicians to collaborate, enhance research, and most importantly, improve the safety and health of athletes in gymnastics.</p>","PeriodicalId":10922,"journal":{"name":"Current sports medicine reports","volume":"24 5","pages":"126-134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143973025","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}
