Musculoskeletal radiology's role in the recent and continued evolution of sports medicine is an exciting and expanding one. In this article we explore a variety of the ways that musculoskeletal radiology contributes to current practices in modern sports medicine, discussing advances across a variety of imaging modalities in the care of both elite athletes and so-called weekend warriors. We describe the technical and ethical factors pertaining to image-guided therapeutic intervention in athletes and speculate on the potential for future developments in the role of imaging in deciding when an athlete may return to participation. We also explore the recent shift to the delivery of imaging facilities at sporting events and in stadiums.

Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, has been attributed to the degeneration of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon, with surgery reserved for recalcitrant cases. Surgical intervention of lateral epicondylitis includes release alone or release with repair. Outcomes of open surgical repair have been reported with better preservation of the grip strength than release alone.

All-inside techniques are based on devices that use PEEK (polyether ether ketone) or biocomposite anchors placed at extracapsular locations such as anchorage points over which the sutures are tied. However, because of complications like irritability and intra-articular migration of these hard anchors, suture-based all-inside meniscal repair systems are now gaining popularity. Although these devices have advantages over conventional all-inside devices, they are costly, thus limiting their widespread use.

Meniscal root tears are recognized as an important pathology. Failure to recognize and to treat this pathology could lead to early-onset osteoarthritis, similar to a total meniscectomy. Surgical treatment is essential to restore meniscal function and to normalize compartment contact pressures, whenever there is joint overload and not severe cartilaginous damage.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and subsequent surgical reconstruction are exceedingly common orthopaedic procedures. Surgical technique and graft preparation techniques continue to evolve as surgeons seek to increase surgical outcomes and decrease recovery time. As such, there is significant interest in identifying tools and techniques that may enhance the surgical process for patients undergoing an ACL reconstruction.

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest ligament of the knee and plays an important role in stabilizing the knee joint posteriorly. PCL tears are common injuries in sports injuries and traffic accidents; however, clinical outcomes after PCL reconstruction have not yet met clinicians' expectations, with a high postsurgery failure rate reported. Suture tape augmentation and supplementary fixation have shown ideal biomechanical properties in early studies.
