A total measured subject participated in this research was 457 students from high school graduates (232 boys and 225 girls) girls average of age is 18.21 ± 0.41 years old [range 18-20 years] and for boys 18.26 ± 0.46 years old (range 18-20 years). Measurements of standing height and the length of the hand were performed with reference to the ISAK protocol. The results for standing height and length of the hand were analyzed by means of the arithmetic mean (SD) and a simple correlation coefficient, while T-test analysis was used for differences between the two genders and linear regressive analysis assessed standing height based on length of hand measurements. The results obtained in this paper have shown that standing height can be estimated from the length of the hand, which reliably predicts standing height for both genders.

A Retrospective Case Series and Review","authors":"Victor Hoang, Ben Moyer, Mehdi Talle, C. Vanier, T. Watson, Randa A. Bascharon, Daniel Lee, Nick Liu","doi":"10.29011/2576-9596.100055","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29011/2576-9596.100055","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Anterior knee pain accounts for 25-40% of knee pain visits in sports medicine clinics. Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome (RPS) and Chronic Patella Dislocations are often multifactorial but commonly the pain originates from impaired patellar tracking and increased lateral patellar tilt. The compression of the subchondral bone has been correlated to the pain as well as from the synovium, retinaculum, and associated neuromuscular structures. The plication of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) counteracts these compressive and tilting forces improving symptoms of RPS and recurrent patella dislocations. The goal of this project was to evaluate the outcomes associated with MPFL plication. Study Design: Case Series; Level IV Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with recurrent patella dislocations, Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome (RPS) or Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) treated with plication of the MPFL between 2009 2018 with minimum four month follow up. The primary outcome variable was patient overall satisfaction, Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS) and Kujala (Anterior Knee Pain) Score. Results: Seven patients met the inclusion criteria. Their demographic and pre-surgery details are in Table 1. A large majority of patients (85.7%) were satisfied, and VAS pain scale ratings were four or less. Only one of the seven patients was not satisfied (Table 2), and that individual also had the lowest Kujala score. The VAS pain scale and the Kujala score were not correlated (Spearman rank correlation, rho=-0.218, P=0.638; Figure 1), nor was there a clear relationship between time since surgery and Kujala score (rho=0.607, P=0.167; Figure 2). Conclusion: Plication of the MPFL has a high success in improving both Kujala (Anterior Knee Pain) Score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) as well as return to regular activities. We believe this is a safe and effective technique in improving chronic patella dislocations and Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome with minimal perioperative morbidity. Introduction Patella Instability/ Patella Dislocation Patella instability and dislocation are not covered under the umbrella of RPS or PFPS, however it can be a source of anterior knee pain, especially in younger female patients ages 10-17 [1]. The average incidence of primary patellar dislocation is roughly 5.8 per 100,000 cases [1]. Causes of patella instability/subluxation and dislocation include trauma, general lateral ligamentous laxity, Citation: Hoang V, Moyer B, Talle M, Vanier C, Watson T, Bascharon, R, Lee, D, Liu, N (2019) Plication of The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament for The Treatment of Chronic Patella Dislocations and Refractory Patellofemoral Syndrome.

Despite the growing popularity of the sport, there is a lack of scientific studies on injuries in beach handball. The aim of the present study, was to compare the findings from two tournaments of European Beach Tour (EBT), in order to identify injury rates and patterns in this sport. One hundred and twenty-two athletes (50 men and 72 women) in 2014 and 121 athletes (60 men and 61 women) in 2016 replied to a self-reported anonymous questionnaire concerning their injuries while playing beach handball. The overall incidence was 9.7 injuries/1000h of game exposure, and 3.1 injuries/1000h of training. Injuries occurred more often during games (63.6%). Ligament injuries were the most common type of injuries (45.2%), followed by muscle injuries (36.5%). Most injuries occurred in the lower limb (51.5%), while 37.9% occurred in the upper limb. Collision with the opponent was the most common mechanism of injury (44.8%). Female athletes had a higher probability of injuries of small severity (0-1 weeks RtP) than male athletes . Comparison between the two competitions revealed an overall decrease in the injury rate in a statistically significant degree in both genders ( for males, for females).

The experimental animals were 8-week-old male Wistar rats in which the right ACL was transected. The gastrocnemius muscle in the affected limb and the same muscle in the contralateral limb were harvested 4 and 48 weeks after ACL transection. We created serial frozen sections of the tissues and performed immunohistochemical staining. In results, at 4 weeks, the muscle wet weight-to-body weight ratio and the Cross-Sectional Area (CSA) of type I and IIb muscle fiber in the deep portion of the muscle were both significantly smaller on the transection-affected side than on the contralateral side (p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, at 48 weeks, the CSA of type I muscle fibers in the deep portion was significantly smaller on the affected side than on the contralateral side (p < 0.05). We surmise that the changes were due mainly to modulation of muscle activity as a result of physical joint instability and functional failure of proprioception, which both occurred as a result of the ACL transection. We showed that these morphological changes may persist over the long term, particularly in the case of type I fibers. Results of this study suggest that long-term rehabilitation for not only the thigh but also the leg is necessary when ACL injuries are encountered clinically.","PeriodicalId":186403,"journal":{"name":"Sports Injuries & Medicine","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126122254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the benefits of regular training outweigh the risks and reduce the likelihood of suffering from pregnancy-induced diseases. Physical activity during pregnancy causes many positive effects. Reduced risk of premature birth, caesarean section and also a positive influence on the risk of gestational hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain are among those positive effects. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends in its guidelines a regular physical activity of about thirty minutes on most days of the week. An energy consumption of 28 MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) per week should be aimed for Especially sports such as jogging, cycling and swimming are suitable. Moreover, strength training with free weights and weight machines can be recommended. Sports with a high risk of injury and body contact are not suitable and should be avoid. With the beginning of their second trimester, it is recommended that even un-athletic women start light physical activity. The intensity should be controlled via the heart rate reserve or with a simple scale such as the Borg scale. Physical activity can be continued throughout the pregnancy and re-intensified four weeks after delivery. On this occasion, an increased attention should be paid to the training of the pelvic floor and the abdominal muscles.","PeriodicalId":186403,"journal":{"name":"Sports Injuries & Medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114499616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study’s objective was to evaluate the shortand long-term clinical efficacy of sclerotherapy and estimate the evolution of Achilles and patellar tendinosis among athletes using ultrasound. All the patients who underwent sclerotherapy in our department from 2008 to 2017 were reevaluated. Twelve patients met these inclusion criteria (15 tendons, 32 ± 21 years old, training 8.8 ± 12 h/week, symptom duration 38 ± 37.8 months). At week six, there was a significant mean reduction in exercise pain (visual analogue scale: from 7.7 ± 1.8 to 3.2 ± 2.3, p = 0.0001) with a resumption of sports by 12/15 patients, 6 at their previous level. At the long-term follow-up (45.5 ± 31 months), 12/15 had a clinically relevant decrease in exercise pain, with 6 partially resuming sports and 4 more resuming at their previous level (two with sclerotherapy alone). Vascularization scores objectivized by ultrasound decreased significantly from 3.38 ± 0.51 to 2.31 ± 1.23 (p < 0.001). Vessels only disappeared in 4/12 tendons, allowing 3 athletes to resume sports at their previous level. In conclusion, sclerotherapy appears to induce good short-term effects on pain and function. Long-term clinical effect is less obvious.

Prevention is fundamental for athletes allowing them to play at the highest level in complete safety: however, only a few studies reported the effectiveness of preventive programs especially in young players. The aim of this study is twofold: firstly, reporting season injuries in young professional footballers and assessing their risk factors; secondly, demonstrating how a specific prevention program reduce injuries incidence. 32 professional footballers («Primavera» under-19 Italian league 2014/2015) were included and compared with the previous season («Allievi» under-17 Italian league 2013/2014) because of 95% of the team was formed by the same players. An injury-prevention program was introduced: core training, active warm-up, static stretching and cryotherapy were inserted into a program of football technical, tactical and physical exercises, co-operated by technical and medical staff. For each injury we collected: type, days of absence, severity, body segment, match or training features, pathogenesis, recurrence, therapy. Therefore, incidence, burden injury and availability were calculated. Analysis was made by MedCalc® (P-value <0,05). We collected 45 injuries: 5 contusions, 9 overexertion-related disorders, 10 sprains, 6 tendonitis, 8 muscle tears, 1 knee ligament strain, 5 bone fractures and 1 skin wound. Injuries mostly occurred during training (60.00%) than matches (33.33%) and 3 extra-soccer activities (6.67%). Incidence was 5,6/1000hs, burden injury of 72.92 days of absence/1000hs and average availibility 87%. Prevention program was significantly effective: injuries were similar (46 vs 45) in the two consecutive seasons even though a doubled-time sport performance (3847.40hs vs 8050.18) (p=0.01).
