Translation, Linguistic Validation, and Readability of the Spanish Version of the VISA-H Scale in Elite Athletes.

Background: Data regarding the diagnosis of Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy (PHT) is limited. There is a need for a standardized, valid, and reliable instrument for evaluating PHT among Spanish population. The purpose of this study was to linguistically validate and cross-culturally adapt the Spanish version of the VISA-H for Spanish population and to assess its readability, initial feasibility, appropriateness and acceptability.

Calcaneal Bone Bruise After Surgery for Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy.

Objective: Excision of the posterosuperior corner of the calcaneus (EPCC) is routinely undertaken in athletes after failure of conservative management of insertional Achilles tendinopathy. Some patients can experience sharp calcaneal pain during postoperative rehabilitation, a sign of a calcaneal bone bruise (CBB).

Design: Case series, level of evidence IV.

Tears of biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus are not equal-a new individual muscle-tendon concept in athletes.

Objectives: Hamstring injuries are common and can now be accurately diagnosed. In addition, novel surgical indications have been introduced. However, evidence-based guidelines on the hamstring injuries in management of top-level athletes are missing.

Operative Treatment of Proximal Rectus Femoris Injuries in Professional Soccer Players: A Series of 19 Cases.

Background: Proximal rectus femoris (PRF) tears are relatively rare injuries among top-level athletes. PRF injuries can be avulsions of both tendon heads (direct and reflected heads) or of a single head, and some have a tendency to progress to recurrent injuries.

Purpose: To describe a series of operatively treated PRF ruptures in professional soccer players.

Central Tendon Injuries of Hamstring Muscles: Case Series of Operative Treatment.

Background: As compared with injuries involving muscle only, those involving the central hamstring tendon have a worse prognosis. Limited information is available regarding the surgical treatment of central tendon injuries of the hamstrings.

Purpose: To describe the operative treatment and outcomes of central tendon injuries of the hamstrings among athletes.

Operative treatment of pelvic apophyseal avulsions in adolescent and young adult athletes: a follow-up study.

Introduction: Pelvic apophyseal avulsion can limit young athletes' performance for months and may result in permanent disability. Nonoperative treatment is most commonly preferred, while surgical management with reduction and fixation is reserved for selected cases. Our aim was to evaluate outcomes of operative management of pelvic apophyseal avulsions in a series of adolescents and young adult athletes.

Surgical excision of symptomatic mature posttraumatic myositis ossificans: characteristics and outcomes in 32 athletes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report characteristics and outcomes of surgical excision of symptomatic mature posttraumatic myositis ossificans in adult athletes. The hypothesis was that surgical excision of the ossified mass in these circumstances can effectively relief symptoms and result in return to high-level sports with minimal postoperative complications.

Methods: All operations involving excision of posttraumatic heterotopic ossifications performed between 1987 and 2015 were reviewed.

Different distributions of operative diagnoses for Achilles tendon overuse injuries in Italian and Finnish athletes.

Background: the origin of chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is currently unclear and epidemiological factors, such as ethnicity, may be associated.

Methods: intraoperative findings from the treatment of 865 Finnish and 156 Italian athletic patients with chronic Achilles tendon related pain were evaluated, retrospectively. The mean age was 34 years (range, 18 to 65 years) in the Finnish and 29 years (range, 17-63 years) in the Italian patients.

Macroscopic Anomalies and Pathological Findings in and Around the Achilles Tendon: Observations From 1661 Operations During a 40-Year Period.

Background: Nonsurgical treatments for chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT) results in unpredictable success rates. Surgical treatment may be chosen as reports show mostly encouraging but variable success rates depending on the pathology. The distribution of surgically confirmed pathologies in AT is largely unknown.

Expert opinion: diagnosis and treatment of proximal hamstring tendinopathy.

Background: proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) is a disabilitating disease often causing underperformance in the athletically demanding patients. The main symptom of PHT is lower gluteal pain especially during running or while prolonged sitting. Mainly affecting athletically active individuals, PHT is a considerable challenge for treating health care professionals.

Surgical excision of posttraumatic ossifications at the proximal hamstrings in young athletes: technique and outcomes.

Background: Proximal hamstring tears can be associated with chronic disability related to the unusual formation of heterotopic ossifications. The role for operative intervention in these circumstances has not been clearly defined.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to describe the surgical management of young athletes who had chronic disability related to proximal hamstring ossifications after eccentric load injuries.

Clinical principles in the management of hamstring injuries.

Purpose: Hamstring injuries are among the most common muscle injuries seen in sports clinical practice. This narrative review covers essential knowledge of hamstring injuries, ranging from strains to total proximal three-tendon ruptures. The primary aim is to provide basic information for clinicians and sports medicine therapists dealing with hamstring problems.

A combination of Latarjet and Remplissage for treatment of severe glenohumeral instability and bone loss. A case report.

Recurrent glenohumeral instability is challenging to treat when large bony defects are present in the anterior glenoid and there is a large Hill-Sachs lesion. We present a case with extensive glenoid and humeral bone loss treated with open Latarjet procedure combined with posterior arthroscopic Remplissage. 3.

All-arthroscopic double-bundle coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction using autogenous semitendinosus graft: a new technique.

We present our novel arthroscopic anatomic double-bundle coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction technique using a semitendinosus tendon autograft. The dorsal limb of the graft is positioned around the dorsal edge of the clavicle, re-creating the conoid ligament. The anterior limb proceeds superiorly and re-creates the trapezoid ligament.

Calcific spurs at the insertion of the Achilles tendon: a clinical and histological study.

In active people, insertional calcific tendinopathy (CT) of the Achilles tendon is rare. We evaluated the results of surgical treatment for Achilles tendon CT and analyzed post-surgery Achilles tendon histological features. The study included 36 operations in 34 patients.

Atraumatic compartment syndrome of the foot in a 15-year-old female.

Compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency that usually occurs as a sequel to high-energy trauma. We report an uncommon presentation of atraumatic compartment syndrome of the right foot involving the abductor hallucis muscle. A 15-year-old female presented with pain and mild swelling of the right foot after taking part in a school sports activity.

[Acute intracompartmental pressure syndrome in the foot of children and the young].

Acute intracompartmental pressure syndrome is a surgical emergency situation. The syndrome is rare and is most commonly associated with a high-energy trauma. It may occur also without trauma, for instance in muscular overloading.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Recurrent and chronic complete ruptures of the proximal origin of the hamstring muscles repaired with fascia lata autograft augmentation.

Hamstring injuries are common, especially among athletes. A complete rupture of the proximal hamstring muscles requires surgical intervention. In this report we describe a reconstruction method for a complete proximal hamstring rupture using fascia lata autograft augmentation in addition to suture anchors.
