2022 Bern Consensus Statement on Shoulder Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Return to Sport for Athletes at All Participation Levels.

There is an absence of high-quality evidence to support rehabilitation and return-to-sport decisions following shoulder injuries in athletes. The Athlete Shoulder Consensus Group was convened to lead a consensus process that aimed to produce best-practice guidance for clinicians, athletes, and coaches for managing shoulder injuries in sport. We developed the consensus via a 2-round Delphi process (involving more than 40 content and methods experts) and an in-person meeting.

[Return to sport and to competition after anterior crusiate ligament reconstruction.].

The return to sport (RTS) and return to competition (RTC) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in the recreational and professionnel sports population remains a challenge. Previous level of activity, associated injuries, the type of reconstruction, and rehabilitation associated factors such as strength, neuromuscular control, and mobility all influence the RTS and RTC. Psychologic aspects, overall fitness, and patient's expectations equally play an important role.

[How to choose the ideal graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction].

Indication for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a debated subject and needs to be discussed on an individual basis, depending on the patient's age and physical demands. Graft selection is a crucial step for successful outcome and needs to be adapted to the patient, to the concomitant lesions, preoperative knee and lower limb injuries, but also to the surgeon's experience and preference. The present article summarizes current concepts, the pros and cons of the most used autografts and allografts, and highlights the importance to adapt postoperative rehabilitation in function of the graft.

Return to sport after patellar dislocation or following surgery for patellofemoral instability.

Patellofemoral instability may occur in a young population as a result of injury during sporting activities. This review focuses on return to sport after one episode of dislocation treated no operatively and as well after surgery for chronic patellofemoral instability. With or without surgery, only two-thirds of patients return to sports at the same level as prior to injury.

[Scapular dyskinesis].

The scapula plays a crucial role for proper shoulder function, serving as a stable base for rotator cuff activation and as a link in the kinetic chain. Joint, ligament or muscular problems near the scapula can lead to malpositions or to an altered movement pattern. This abnormal situation is called "scapular dyskinesis", which appears to be a non-specific response to a painful condition of the shoulder.
