We present a case of a professional basketball player who suffered from nonunion bilateral chronic tibial fractures, successfully treated with ultrasound-guided intraosseous injection with bone marrow aspirate concentrate. The patient was able to return to play full time after recovery from the procedure.

Gender-specific hip strength disparities correlate with injury patterns in NCAA men's and women's soccer players.

Background: In National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) soccer athletes, men have higher rates of hip and groin strains, whereas women have higher rates of knee ligament injuries. Strength imbalances of the hip and thigh, specifically in agonist-antagonist muscles, are known risk factors for these injuries.

Objective: To perform hip and thigh strength assessments in NCAA soccer players to evaluate for differences between genders and correlations with gender-specific injury patterns.

Amniotic dehydrated cell and protein concentrate versus corticosteroid in knee osteoarthritis: preliminary findings.

The purpose is to report preliminary data on clinical response to dehydrated cell and protein concentrate (dCPC) versus corticosteroid (CSI). A single-site prospective, randomized controlled single-blinded trial of patients with knee osteoarthritis. : Pain and function were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Emory Quality of Life (EQOL) measure at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

Calcific Tendinopathy of the Shoulder: A Retrospective Comparison of Traditional Barbotage Versus Percutaneous Ultrasonic Barbotage.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare a traditional barbotage technique with percutaneous ultrasonic barbotage (PUB) for the treatment of rotator cuff (RC) calcific tendinopathy.

Design: Three-year retrospective review.

Setting: Participants aged 18 to 75 presenting at 2 highly specialized outpatient orthopedic referral centers with symptomatic RC calcific tendinopathy.

Suggested Curricular Guidelines for Musculoskeletal and Sports Medicine in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency Training.

A sports medicine physician manages musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries and sport-related medical and MSK conditions of patients of all ages and abilities. Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians (physiatrists) must be adequately trained to provide this care for all patients including, but not limited to, athletes participating in organized sports, the weekend warrior as well as athletes with disabilities. Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education core requirements and basic guidelines help physiatry residency training programs develop and implement residency curriculums.
