Primary Care Considerations for Youth Martial Arts Athletes.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
January 2025
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to analyze the impact of martial arts on youth, addressing the physical and psychosocial benefits, as well as the injury risks associated with increased participation.
Recent Findings: Data from the National Federation of State High School Associations indicates a notable increase in youth participation in martial arts, with a rise of over 13,000 participants from 2018 to 2022. In addition to physical benefits, recent studies highlight that martial arts can significantly enhance mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve self-control, thus diminishing bullying behaviors in school-aged children.
Common Ultrasound Applications for Pediatric Musculoskeletal Conditions.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
December 2022
Purpose Of Review: To discuss the use of ultrasound for diagnosis and management of common pediatric musculoskeletal conditions through a case-based approach.
Recent Findings: Ultrasound is an essential diagnostic modality in the early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hips and can be used as early as 6 weeks of age when the ossific nucleus has not developed yet. Ultrasound is helpful in diagnosing traumatic injuries such as fractures and intramuscular hematomas, can visualize fracture healing at early stages, and can also be used to guide aspiration of hematomas that can help with decreasing pain and faster recovery.
Purpose Of Review: The aim of this study is to review the most recent literature on common upper extremity injuries in pediatric athletes and discuss their diagnosis, management, and outcomes. We also highlight ultrasound as a tool in their evaluation.
Recent Findings: Shoulder conditions presented include little league shoulder, glenohumeral rotation deficit, acute traumatic shoulder dislocation, and multidirectional shoulder instability.
Purpose Of Review: The exponential growth of women participating in competitive sports throughout the years was made possible through several initiatives by the International Olympic Committee and the passage and implementation of Title IX as a federal law in the United States. However, this positive trend towards gender equity in sports has not transpired for women in medicine, especially in fields that care for elite athletes. This current review will discuss specific areas that can be tailored to help female athletes prevent injuries and optimize their athletic performance.

Methods: Cross-sectional study using data from publicly-available online sources. Data were collected from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) online listings of PCSM programs and cross-referenced with individual program websites.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate whether female athletes adhering to specific diets reported behaviors consistent with disordered eating compared to those who did not follow diets.
- A survey of 1,000 female athletes revealed that 165 were on specific diets, and a significant 68.5% of these athletes showed signs of disordered eating.
- Results indicated that those on low-carbohydrate diets were particularly at risk, with 80% reporting disordered eating behaviors, suggesting the need for health practitioners to provide better nutritional education and support.
