Patellar tendinopathy after arthroscopic meniscectomy: a case report.

Background: Arthroscopic meniscal surgical procedures as a whole have a low complication rate. The objective of this article is to report on a rare acute patellar tendinopathy after a knee arthroscopic procedure and to provide a brief discussion of its potential pathogenesis.

Case Presentation: A 57-year-old man reported acute anterior knee pain 2 weeks after a knee arthroscopical meniscectomy.

Rectus abdominis muscle strains in tennis players.

Rectus abdominis muscle strains are common and debilitating injuries among competitive tennis players. Eccentric overload, followed by forced contraction of the non-dominant rectus abdominis during the cocking phase of the service motion is the accepted injury mechanism. A tennis-specific rehabilitation program emphasising eccentrics and plyometric strengthening of the abdominal wall muscles, contributes to the complete functional recovery in tennis players, and could help reduce recurrences.

Stress injury of the lunate in tennis players: a case series and related biomechanical considerations.

Objective: To investigate clinical and imaging differential diagnosis and tennis stroke biomechanics potentially involved in lunate stress injury pathogenesis.

Methods: The present report describes five competitive tennis players with overuse-related dorsal wrist pain assessed by magnetic resonance imaging.

Results: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of lunate stress injury.

[Stress fractures in athletes. role of magnetic resonance imaging in predicting injury morbidity].

Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful tool for stress fractures (SF) diagnosis, allowing the estimation of injury severity. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between the severity of SF in athletes determined by magnetic resonance imaging and the morbidity estimated as the time to return to sport. Thirty-four cases of stress fractures, (29 athletes; 12 female, 17 male; age 26.

Uncommon abdominal muscle injury in a tennis player: internal oblique strain.

The case of a strain injury of the internal oblique abdominal muscle in a professional tennis player is presented. This uncommon lesion resulted from eccentric, unbalanced trunk rotation. Magnetic resonance imaging helped to confirm the diagnosis.
