Common Benign Bone Lesions and Return to Sports: A Case Report and Scoping Review.

Background: Benign bone lesions are a common incidental finding in athletes during workup for musculoskeletal complaints, and athletes are frequently advised to halt participation in contact sports. There are no current guidelines to assist clinicians in referring patients with these lesions to a subspecialist or in advising athletes on the safety of returning to sport.

Purpose: To assist sports medicine physicians in appropriate referral for patients with benign bone lesions through presentation of a literature review and the case of an adolescent athlete with a benign bone lesion in a location with a significant fracture risk.

Medical Students' Perceptions of Orthopedics as a Career for Women.

Objectives: To determine potential factors influencing female medical students' interest and subsequent application to orthopedics, and to evaluate female and male medical students' perceptions of women in the field of orthopedics.

Methods: An institutional review board-approved survey was distributed in March 2020 and subsequently in April 2022 to medical students in the classes of 2023 and 2024 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Heersink School of Medicine. Study data were collected and managed using REDCap electronic data capture.

A Plausible Pipeline to Diversifying Orthopaedics: Premedical Programming.

Objective: To determine whether premedical programming can address the interest level and perception of barriers to women in orthopaedics held by female high school and medical students.

Design: A thirteen-question paper-based survey was distributed among the high school and medical school participants prior to the January 2020 Perry Outreach Program and Medical Student Outreach Program. After a day of participation in mock procedures and speaker sessions, participants subsequently completed another survey of seven-questions.

Orthostatic intolerance in post-concussion patients.

Orthostatic intolerance (OI) following pediatric concussion is not well understood. Assessing the prevalence of concussion-related OI and how it compares to non-concussion-related OI will improve care for patients suffering with these symptoms. OBJECTIVE: We set out to describe concussion-related OI in adolescence, with particular emphasis on time to recovery and differences from non-concussion-related OI (including male vs.

Vestibular, Oculomotor, and Balance Functions in Children With and Without Concussion.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess whether objective vestibular, oculomotor, and balance functions were impaired in children with a current diagnosis of concussion with vestibular and/or ocular symptoms.

Setting: Data were collected in a vestibular/ocular clinical laboratory. Patient participants were recruited from a concussion clinic in a children's hospital.

Recommended Musculoskeletal and Sports Medicine Model Curriculum for Emergency Medicine Residency Training.

Musculoskeletal and sports medicine conditions are common in the emergency department (ED). Emergency physicians may not be receiving adequate education to achieve clinical competency in musculoskeletal medicine during residency training. This article aims to provide a standardized musculoskeletal and sports medicine curriculum for emergency medicine training.

Action-Observation in Fine Motor Learning Applying Neuropsychology Principles to Enhance Academic Teaching in the Field of Rheumatology A Pilot Study.

Background: The subject of fine motor acquisition among adults has been wellstudied in the fields of neurorehabilitation and neuropsychology. Action-based observation among subjects of varying skill sets has been shown to be an effective means of acquiring a new fine motor skill. This study applied these principals to assist postgraduate students in acquiring a new fine motor skill.

Saccadic intrusions in paediatric concussion.

Three paediatric patients post-mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI, also known as concussion) developed saccadic intrusions, which are irregular, involuntary saccades that interrupt fixation. Each patient presented to a mTBI clinic months post-injury, complaining of headaches, difficulty concentrating, and dizziness. Written informed consent from parents was obtained for use of these cases.

Academic Difficulty and Vision Symptoms in Children with Concussion.

Purpose: Academic difficulty is reported in children with prolonged post-concussive symptoms. Despite growing evidence that vestibular-ocular and vision-specific dysfunction are common in children after concussion, vision is rarely mentioned in return-to-learn protocols. The purpose of this project was to evaluate a cohort of children with prolonged post-concussive symptoms to determine if vision symptoms are associated with those reporting academic difficulty.

Sideline coverage: when to get radiographs? A review of clinical decision tools.

Context: Sidelines coverage presents unique challenges in the evaluation of injured athletes. Health care providers may be confronted with the question of when to obtain radiographs following an injury. Given that most sidelines coverage occurs outside the elite level, radiographs are not readily available at the time of injury, and the decision of when to send a player for radiographs must be made based on physical examination.
