Other acute TBIs in boxing include epidural hematoma, intracranial hematoma, cerebral contusions, dissection of large vessels of the neck and concussion. Concussion or mild TBI is common in a sport like boxing where every punch thrown at the head is thrown with the idea of winning by causing a knockout (KO) which is nothing but a concussive injury of the brain. After a KO, the boxer is typically given a medical suspension. The adequate duration of medical suspension after a KO has neither been determined nor standardized.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45006680","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}

The objective of this bibliographic review is to examine the available literature on postoperative redislocation using the Eden-Hybinette and Latarjet techniques in these patients. A search for the terminology was performed in PubMed. Between the two surgical techniques, higher recurrence rates are reported in Latarjet, which may be associated with conjoined tendon avulsions in the bone graft during seizures. More complications (osteoarthritis, bone graft fractures, and surgical re-intervention) also occurred in Latarjet versus Eden Hybinette. Possibly, the iliac crest graft surgical approach may be more beneficial for the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability in epileptic patients.

Furthermore, access to dual X-ray absorptiometry scanning can be limited in clinical practice. The purpose of the current study was to develop a bone health-screening tool suitable for inclusion of both younger and active populations, combined with radiofrequency echographic multi spectrometry technology (REMS). Methodology 88 participants attending a physiotherapy clinic in the UK were recruited to the study: 71 women (mean age 41.5 SD 14.0 years); 17 men (mean age 40.2 SD 14.9 years). Participants completed an online bone health-screening questionnaire developed specifically for this study covering a range of lifestyle, physiological and medical factors and received bone mineral density (BMD) measurement at the lumbar spine and femoral neck using REMS. Results Scoring of the bone health-screening questionnaire produced a distribution of bone health scores, with lower scores suggesting a higher risk for poor bone health. In women, scores ranged from -10 to +12, mean score 2.2 (SD 4.8). In men, scores ranged from 0 to 12, mean score 6.9 (SD 3.2). A positive correlation was observed between the bone health score derived from the questionnaire and lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD Z-scores (p<0.01). 3 Conclusions This new and comprehensive bone health-screening questionnaire was effective in identifying active individuals at risk of bone fragility, who might be missed by current screening methods. In addition, the use of REMS technology to measure bone health, was feasible in the clinical setting.
