Despite the title, the information applies to all patients who have an activity-related problem involving the shoulder. The fact that Andrews is an orthopaedic surgeon and Wilk is a physical therapist lends a multidisciplinary perspective to the text. Of the seventy-six contributing authors, forty-one are physicians; thirty-one are physical therapists or athletic trainers, or both; and the remaining four are researchers or other allied-health professionals. The editors state that the text is intended for “clinicians, physicians, therapists, athletic trainers, and others,” but any attempt to appeal to such a broad audience can be dangerous as the material may be too general for some readers and too specific for others. Nevertheless, the balance that the …

Overuse injuries are particularly troublesome because they begin insidiously. The majority of elbow overuse injuries can be attributed to excessive baseball pitching and are part of the “Little League elbow” syndrome. Elbow overuse problems also occur in overhead racquet sports and in gymnastics. The key to diagnosis, treatment, and

Sudden dorsiflexion from a fall onto theoutstretched hand results in fractures, ligament tears, and joint disruptions. Repetitive dorsiflexion, which occurs in activities such as weightlifting or gymnastics, leads to overuse injuries including physeal stress fractures, bone stress fractures, triangular fibrocartilage complex tears, impingement syndromes, progressive laxity and arthritic degeneration.

A large prospective trial is needed to assess the risks associated with using levofloxacin in children. Assess the safety and tolerability of levofloxacin therapy in children based on observations for 1 year after therapy. Safety data were collected in children who participated in 1 of 3 efficacy trials (N = 2523) and a subset of these children who also subsequently participated in a long-term 1-year surveillance trial (N = 2233). Incidence of adverse events in children randomized to receive levofloxacin versus nonfluoroquinolone antibiotics was compared. Based on assessments by treating physicians and an independent data safety monitoring committee, events related to the musculoskeletal system were further categorized as 1 of 4 predefined musculoskeletal disorders (arthralgia, arthritis, tendinopathy, gait abnormality) considered most likely clinical correlates of fluoroquinolone-associated cartilage lesions observed in laboratory animals. Levofloxacin was well tolerated during and for 1 month after therapy as evidenced by similar incidence and character of adverse events compared with nonfluoroquinolone antibiotics. However, incidence of at least 1 of the 4 predefined musculoskeletal disorders (largely due to reports of arthralgia) was greater in levofloxacin-treated compared with nonfluoroquinolone-treated children at 2 months (2.1% vs. 0.9%; P = 0.04) and 12 months (3.4% vs. 1.8%; P = 0.03) after starting therapy. The incidence of 1 or more of the 4 predefined musculoskeletal disorders identified in nonblinded, prospective evaluations, was statistically greater in levofloxacin-treated compared with comparator-treated children.

A consecutive series of 112 patients (128 knees) (mean age 10.0 years [range 1 month to 22 years]) who underwent arthroscopic evaluation and treatment of a discoid lateral meniscus between 1993 and 2001 was reviewed. Of those discoid menisci classified intraoperatively (n = 87), 62.1 % (n = 54) were complete discoid lateral menisci and 37.9 % (n = 33) were incomplete discoid lateral menisci. An associated meniscal tear was present in 69.5 % (n = 89) of all knees studied. Overall, 28.1% (n = 36) of discoid lateral menisci had peripheral rim instability: 47.2 % (n = 17) were unstable at the anterior-third peripheral attachment, 11.1 % (n = 4) at the middle-third peripheral attachment, and 38.9 % (n = 14) at the posterior-third peripheral attachment. Thirtyone of the 36 unstable discoid menisci underwent repair of the peripheral meniscal rim attachment. One pat...

The majority of knee injuries in young dancers are due to overuse, as opposed to macrotrauma. Since many young dancers have joint hypermobility and disordered eating patterns, these variables play a large role in the injury profile for this population. Bone health, including proper nutrition and vitamin D levels, is another unusually important variable to be considered in the assessment of dance injuries. This chapter deals with many of the knee injuries that young dancers commonly sustain, such as patellofemoral pain syndrome, fat pad syndrome, plica syndrome, Osgood–Schlatter syndrome, and Sinding–Larsen–Johansson syndrome. As with all activity-related injuries, the first task in dealing with these injuries is to make an accurate diagnosis. Next, the pathophysiology needs to be understood, as well as the risk factors involved. Tr...
