Advanced technology and increasing clinical experience have established sonography as a reliable imaging modality for sports-related injuries. Tears of muscles and tendons, tendinosis, and tenosynovitis are promptly diagnosed using ultrasound. Dynamic assessment of joints can be performed, allowing diagnoses of conditions that may remain undetected when evaluated with conventional magnetic resonance imaging. Sonography provides expeditious image guidance for procedures such as drainage of fluid collections and cysts. This article reviews the applications of sonography to sports-related injuries in which its diagnostic performance may be comparable to magnetic resonance imaging.

Elite para athletes with active coping behaviour are less likely to report a sports injury.
Br J Sports Med
December 2024
Rehabilitation Medicine Research Group, Department of Health Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Objective: Elite para athletes report a high incidence of sports injuries. Research suggests that athletes' strategies to manage adversities may influence the sports injury risk, but knowledge about para athletes' coping behaviours and their association with injuries is limited. The aim was to describe the distribution of coping behaviours in Swedish elite para athletes by sex, age, impairment, sport and to examine associations between coping behaviours and the probability of reporting a prospective sports injury during a 52-week study period.

Article Synopsis
- Runners who don't allow enough recovery time after training may be at a higher risk for injuries due to fatigue and altered movement patterns.
- A study looked at how different running intensities affect lower-limb joint movements and coordination during a single-leg squat in 30 healthy runners.
- Immediate and longer-term changes showed that coordination patterns became less adaptive (more regular) after moderate and high-intensity runs, but traditional kinematic analysis did not effectively capture these changes.
Epidemiology of Consumer Product-Related Ocular Injuries in the Incarcerated Population.

January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ, USA.
Purpose: To characterize the epidemiology of consumer product-related ocular injury in the United States (US) incarcerated population, and identify preventable causes.
Methods: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried for cases of eye injury from 2014 to 2023. Incarcerated cases were identified using the keywords "prison", "jail", "inmate", and "incarcerate".
Examining the Prevalence of Sports-Related Injuries in Collegiate Baseball Players.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Background: Sports-related injuries remain a significant problem for collegiate baseball players. Although some studies reported the epidemiology of sports-related injuries among collegiate baseball players, the latest information on sport-related injuries should be provided.
Purpose: To examine the current trends of sports-related injuries among collegiate baseball players in the Pacific 12 (PAC-12) Conference.
Evaluation of a Depression Screening Program in Pediatric Orthopaedic Sports Clinics: Identifying At-Risk Adolescents.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego, California, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the prevalence of depression and self-harm risk among adolescents in pediatric orthopaedic sports clinics, utilizing the PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 questionnaires as assessment tools.
- Findings indicate that 4.2% of patients screened positive for depression, with self-harm risk notably higher in those with shoulder injuries and knee instability, especially among Black/African American youth and females.
- The research suggests that certain demographic factors and specific injuries may predict higher self-harm risks, highlighting the need for mental health assessments in sports-related injury contexts.
