Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the incidence and characteristics of injuries during judo tournaments, including factors like gender, age, and weight categories through a systematic review of existing literature.
- Out of 1979 studies reviewed, 25 were selected, revealing injury incidence rates ranging from 2.5% to 72.5% for those needing medical evaluation and 1.1% to 4.1% for injuries causing time loss, with head injuries being the most common.
- The conclusion highlighted the inconsistencies in current injury reports, emphasizing the need for standardized reporting methods in future studies to better understand injury risks in judo.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a trainer-supervised judo-specific injury prevention warm-up programme on overall injury prevalence.
Methods: We conducted a two-arm, cluster randomised controlled trial; the Injury Prevention and Performance Optimization Netherlands (IPPON) study. Judo athletes aged≥12 years were randomised by judo school to IPPON intervention or control group who performed their usual warm-up.
Background: Treatment with uncemented resurfacing shoulder hemiarthroplasty has proved to be viable for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis at short- and mid-term follow-up. This study was essential to determine whether those outcomes will endure. This study presents the long-term results of the Global Conservative Anatomic Prosthesis (CAP) uncemented resurfacing shoulder hemiarthroplasty (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA).

Methods: We used the five-step Knowledge Transfer Scheme (KTS) guidelines. In the first two steps, we described the injury problem in judo and showed possibilities to reduce the injury rates.
Background: The short-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone or hamstring tendon (HT) graft are excellent with good clinical stability and patient-reported outcomes. Although some studies have reported the long-term outcomes of bone-patellar tendon-bone graft ACL reconstruction, few have reported the outcomes of HT graft ACL reconstruction.
Purpose: To assess clinical and radiographic outcomes of HT graft ACL reconstruction with femoral cortical button fixation at a minimum 20-year follow-up.
